    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....

    You're welcome. You need to fully understand yurt geometry if you aren't working off a specific set of plans. As you expand the wall it goes from tall and narrow to short and wide. The lath shape...

    Looking forward to more photos. A sharp drawknife is a great tool. Good job as usual knecht. I'm hoping this thread gets a few other folks building their own yurt.

    I sewed both the wall and roof cover for my 16' yurt. The wall started out as painters tarps. Very easy to modify. The roof cover started as a large tarp. I modified it to fit my yurt. I didn't...

    Getting the top cap up into position without tearing the cover will be easy unless it's stupid heavy. Borrow an extension ladder and a musclehead friend. Extend the ladder and flop it on the...

    It IS coming together nicely. Don't worry about how to run the cable over the door. Make the cable to length. Lay the cable in the crosses and right across the top of the door frame. Drill holes in...

    A drafty yurt with a drafty floor is killer in cold weather. Seal all floor gaps. Better yet insulate the platform. Plan on the wall and roof being insulated

    That's right Marshall. This build along is the 'meat and potatoes' for yurt construction archives. Apply yourself, and you too can do it. Good stuff all around.

    Hopefully MN parks will generate a little cash flow from their investment. Many of the folks that stay in those will take photos and video and tell their friends. That's good promotion of yurts imo.
