    My guess would be a 16' yurt is ~ 600 lbs. total for everything, and that would include felt insulation. Since the longest dimension is < 8', and less than 4' wide, it is transportable in a...

    For the plan I have made-twice- google: clan yama kaminari yurt Click on 'yurt build'. That is a superb yurt. I built the 14'er, and then the 16'er. Strong, easy to build, and < 1K.

    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...

    On a 20' yurt I'd absolutely go with a 1/4" clad steel tension cable no question about it. Cut it two feet longer than the yurts circumference. Use 3 cable clamps to get it to the exact yurt...

    If the ground isn't rocky, it can be leveled very nicely with a spade, shovel, hoe, pick, rake, and your eye. A wheelbarrow is always a plus if you are moving dirt on or off site. Start by...

    That's a good looking 9 cross yurt khana. Well done. 32 rafters will work fine based on eyeballing the crosses in your photo, and with 2 above the door frame. If not, just skip a rafter cross on...
