    Pixiemoss liked post by Corinarose On thread : 30' yurt + insulation layering
    I live in a 30' yurt in Vermont. So winters are cold. The reflectix insulation is not useful or helpful in any capacity IMHO. I have it but it was not worth it, so you have done well by not...

    We do spot inspections by unscrewing the sidewall and poking around. It IS possible that we have missed something. We always run an air purifier regardless because of the usual indoor air pollution...

    IMO wood is the best option because it is a dry heat. The insulation/moisture topic is a hot one within the yurt community. My opinion on this is basically this: Have you ever been in an attic...

    One thing you might try doing is every once in a while, firing up that wood stove as high as you safely can. Heat the room right up, and then crack the dome enough where it can stay comfortable, but...

    It comes though the path of least resistance. if the dome is open, the room fills comes from there. If not, the stove has to work harder (less efficient) to pull the air from all of the little drafty...

    Just wanted to update what I ended up doing: We added regular windows retrofitted. Inside over the lattice we added rigid insulation and covered with a board that was supposed to be VOC free and was...

    We installed insulation and drywall in our Pacific yurt's walls. We used 3/8" because it bends easier. My yurt blog on my profile should have pix. Down the road I plan to replace the exterior...

    I don't think vents in the walls would be necessary. At least not in our climate where it is very windy. The wall fabric is loose enough that air moves through the walls quite well. A little too...
