    I'm sorry to hear you lost your yurt! That sounds like it would've been quite the ordeal. I certainly agree with your word of caution, but I'd add a few bits. The calculation to figure out the...

    Muhamedrahim Kursabaev liked post by hierony On thread : Tips for building a yurt
    You'll need to do some basic design work to figure out how much lumber you'll need. If you'll be doing a modern-style yurt, you have the crown ring, maybe 40 roof poles (often machine rated 2x4 or...

    I'm a fan of straw bale platforms--nice and thick insulation. It won't mold IF kept dry (ie, don't let water pool on it, make sure water drains away from your platform; potenially seal with stucco)....

    Groovyyurts liked post by hierony On thread : Moisture in the Yurt from Condensation
    Yep, the lower walls would mean less volume to heat and less surface are to loose it through. Mongolians are also a little bit shorter on average and don't seem to think it's terribly important to...

    Groovyyurts liked post by hierony On thread : How to deal with dampness
    If you have electricity, I'd suggest putting in a small vent to move air around/out while you aren't there. A tiny fan that pushes ~5-30 cfm out through a vent in the platform or crown ring would...

    A tall bed, like 3+ ft, is really useful. Dressers & storage boxes, even a dog kennel/crate can go under it. I've 6 ft walls, and there's plenty of head space, only slightly cramped near the wall...

    Oh, I also have a 6 ft sapling staff that I put through the crown ring support posts (not usually present in modern-style yurts). I use it for drying towels or laundry on clothes hangars and such.

    Wikipedia is always a favorite first recourse for learning more. Be sure to peruse the absorption page as well and maybe check out the commercial offering (likely very expensive & overkill)....
