Default yurt skylight

Anyone know where to purchase a skylight for the top of a 16 ft yurt? The yurt companies Ive contacted are extremely expensive.

Searching for 'acrylic domes' gives some decent sources. Here's three:

Acrylic Dome
Plastic Domes | Plastic Hemispheres | California Quality Plastics Plastic Domes and Spheres
Clear Acrylic Plastic Display Domes.

You'd need to figure out how to attach it, but yurt people are usually inventive :P

I've got an ongoing project to improve my low-cost roof hole solution in my 12" yurt. I just made another modification yesterday. I should make some design diagrams so other people can try it out.

We just completed a glass octagon skylight in Conifer, Colorado. Acrylic version is also available.
