    I will end my posts on this thread before they become political. Here's a true short story. In 1995 my partner and I trimmed the large new home of the president of a brand new home building...

    I have watched several youtube videos of Mongolian families/herders erecting and dismantling their yurts. These nomadic people move their yurts from pasture to pasture a few times every year. For...

    TSRalex liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Pros & cons for high/low walls (lattice)?
    My yurts were a single area only, no bathroom. As for wind, yurts are 'the' most wind resistant tents by a long margin. All the exterior surfaces are curved and backed by wall lattice and rafters....

    Walls on my yurts were about 5'4". I am 5'9". I had no problem with clearance walking around inside at the wall. For windows and a door you don't need to duck to enter you'll need a taller wall. ...

    thebitmaster liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Rain cover with ventilation for tono in Mongolian Ger?
    Another way would be to simply lay a length of 2x4 across the top of the tonoo, and let the cap lay on top of that during a rain. That would let the yurt breathe yet keep out rain. btw I made my...

    Freedom Yurt Cabins liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Freedom Yurts Real World Experience Anyone?
    I don't know squat about Freedom yurts. If they have solid 2x walls, that will work fine. My broad 'big picture' view of mold and dwellings is, any dwelling, regardless of yurt, house, commercial...

    TSRalex liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Q: Thickness of polyacrylic domes?
    Jay, that's a good point about using a rope to stop the roof cover from ballooning up in heavy wind. I made a rope bridle for my 16' yurt out of a fifty foot piece of retired 11mm climbing rope. It...

    I always opt for as much natural light as is reasonable given the budget. For illumination reference, a typical 4'x3' bedroom window in an older tract house from the 60s / 70s admits about 12 square...

    A 6.23 diameter opening has an area of ~about 30 square feet. A 5' opening has an area of about ~20 square feet. So the bigger dome would admit substantially more light. As for yurt dome materals and...
