    Typically an aspect of a kit is that the hard part, the ring, is prebuilt for you. The rafters will be sized. The lattice needs to be assembled. The door will be made and hung, or not, depending on...

    To be perfectly clear, the yama kaminari design is a simple to build, easily erected and dismantled camping yurt. It isn't at all designed to be used as a primary residence. The yurts from the...
