    When it comes to dwellings, maybe one person in a thousand thinks outside the box of conventional construction. That's understandable and totally OK. It's a testament to just how good we have it here...

    I'm a carpenter and scratch built my 16' yurt. I opted to not do a clear dome over my roof ring. I notice nomadic Mongolians don't have them over their smoke holes either. I merely exit the 6" wood...

    To my way of thinking, utilizing the natural air flow inherrent in a yurt is the best way to get excess moisture out of the yurt. IMO the well designed modern U.S. type residential yurt, with hot...

    Goodyear. Welcome to the forum. I have a yurt in semi arid CO. IMO semi arid is the best climate for yurts, as a high and dry climate is where yurts were initially developed. However, I'm...

    Since this is a 'build yurt' thread, I want to make a side comment. I'm all for folks doing things themselves. I've been like that my entire life. If you are winging a build, constructing your yurt...

    Good job on the platform frame. Cut those 2x deck boards. If you bog down with a full depth cut, simply reset the blade depth for a scoring pass about a half inch. Then make another pass over the...

    If you happen to opt for 2x6 decking, you might consider adding one or even two additional courses of co blocking for better support. 2' is normally the maximum span for 2x6.

    Snow load in Vermont can be upwards of three feet, right? A dried sapling 12 cross wall might take that load, but that's a raw guess. Typically yurts of that size that might have 6 tons of weight...
