    I live in CO. I'm gonna guess that the UV in the high Rockies is killing the plastic in your dome in short order. UV will also shorten the life of even a high grade cover like you have on your yurt....

    Yurts are tents. The best tent ever devised without doubt, but tents nonetheless. Rain is quite loud on my yurt. 17 oz. canvas cover, no insulation. Just so you know, all outside sounds easily pass...

    I'm not a structural engineer, so keep that in mind when you read my opinion. I think you should consult an engineer on this before you proceed. In fact I should have prefaced that in my first post...

    Brainstorming here. Another possibility, build 2x4 panelized walls using the existing snow load studs. Add a top and bottom plate. Apply 1/2" OSB or ply to the face of the new panel. Face the...

    Vertically oriented 3/4 boards on the outside would be easy enough, once you figured out a procedure. They could be butted, shiplapped, t&g. You could build a panelized 2x2 wall on 16" or 2' centers...

    IMO ten years is pretty good service for plastic that is under stress, and constantly exposed to the environment.

    Roof weight is loaded onto outside wall. However two or three poles under a larger 7 M yurt ring are absolutely essential to my way of thinking. As for the connection of rafters to ring, I can...

    Do you live in a high wind area? A thicker ring is stronger. It will have more contact surface for the rafters to bear against. That contact surface resists the twisting force that occurs in...
