    I had my 16'er up for 4+ years. Didn't live in it. Nor would I care to. As a young single guy it would be OK for a while. Most people want out of a yurt and into their new home, after a year or...

    There was a young man from Czech that posted here quite a bit a couple years ago. Knecht had problems with mold in his yurt last I heard and then he abruptly disappeared from this place. Too bad.

    OK last point. It is good design to angle the side jambs of the door frame so the follow the curve of your yurt wall. This is another mistake I made. I suggest NOT making the jambs square to the...

    I used 1.25" 1/4-20 carriage bolts and nylok nuts on my laths. I had washers between the laths to keep the painted laths from sticking, but that was a BIG mistake. No matter where I torqued the nuts,...

    You have a good attitude. Building a yurt isn't easy, but, it is doable for someone with basic skills that has a good plan, and a positive 'can do, and WILL do.' attitude. Best to you.

    I also had the same problem. This is how I solved it. Make a tension cable that is the circumferential length of your yurt. Get the circumference plus two feet. Install cable clamps so that you have...

    Once again, I have to say, regardless of how great they are, keep in mind a yurt is a tent, not a house. Not even kinda slightly close to a house. A solid wall 'yurt' with panelized framed walls,...

    If the site is flat enough, I'd go with a concrete pad. Fast to build, affordable, bombproof, no upkeep. If you have electric and plumbing, you need to get that based first. If you gaet burned out on...

    Totally off topic. IMO Mongolian women are singularly the most beautiful women on the planet. No makeup whatsoever and they are absolutely beautiful.
