    So I consistently see people putting bubble-wrap style radiant barrier insulation in between a decorative inner layer and the outside canvas. Everything I've read says that radiant barrier doesn't...

    Bob Rowlands liked post by thebitmaster On thread : Platform posts options for moist clay soil
    For my admittedly small 12" yurt platform, I used RV levelers on top of concrete blocks. I used 16 of them in this pattern. My site in on an incline, with a 12" drop from front to back, so I raised...

    ...and no, the Soul Pad bell tent in the background is *not* my yurt. This is the yurt frame on the platform: https://live.staticflickr.com/5689/23394723380_dcae8e0ea7_b.jpg Also, naturally, my...

    TSRalex liked post by thebitmaster On thread : A hole in the Roof
    In the Burning Man community we make a lot of roofs out of recycled billboard vinyl. It only lasts a few years (at least in Texas) but it's cheap and widely available. The thing we often use to glue...

    maryb liked post by thebitmaster On thread : Flooring Options
    I installed my cork flooring after the yurt was up. It simply stops short of the wall lattice, leaving a small gap. Since my 12' yurt is pretty full, I don't see the gap. Overall the cork has been...

    I've lived in a 12' homebuilt yurt covered with recycled billboard vinyl for about 5 years. I vaguely recall a little of that smell initially, but one advantage of recycled is that it's sat outside...

    I second the "build a hoist" idea. I originally had a fancy Voltron-style tripod thing that I assembled out of six of my roof rafters. It had a pulley on top to fine tune the roof height. You can...

    I don't really have much problem with pests. Mosquitos are the most annoying, because they will find any tiny hole to get in through, and will infest any accessible water. I have one of those...
