    Minnesotaman liked post by Yurtman On thread : Are yurts really portable?
    You need one of my yurts. They are designed to be lightweight and portable. You would need a donkey, horse or vehicle to transport it as it is not a "back packing" yurt. The total weight of my 12ft...

    So here is an update to my prototype 20ft permenant yurt with Metal ring design. The title of this thread is a typo. It’s should say 20ft. I set up the ring in my workshop with a couple of...

    Yes I have lost a few rental yurts at events to wind. We always tie them down, but we have had some big winds. I’ve split a few rings and broken lattice, but the beauty of a yurt is it’s easily...

    For Roof rafters, I will be using clear Vertical Grain Doug Fir. No knots. It’s really tight grain, beautiful and expensive, but incredibly strong. You are right about knots though The way big...

    Yes knot tying is very hard on the hands. I tell customers who make my kits that if their hands are not burning after 30 mins, the knots are not tight enough. I had one customer who was under...

    The umbrella is really the best solution for a camping yurts as it packs down so small for transport, way better than a 3ft dome which takes up a lot of space. If you camp in summer you only...

    Bob Rowlands liked post by Yurtman On thread : Metal ring for a 20ft yurt
    I like the idea of a really thin ring rather than the big block rings you usually see. I’ll weld flanges to the ring and then cut a slit in the end of the rafter that buts up against the ring so the...

    It really depends on the size of the yurt and what you want to use it for. Is it camping or permanent. Is it 12ft or 20ft. My camping yurts use 1.5”x 7/8” vertical grain Doug Fir. I use these on...

    You didn’t say if this yurt is permanent or just a temporary structure. This will gave a bearing on square v round. Square or rectangular will be stronger so if you have to think about snow, go with...

    My standard yurt is 56” which is very traditional. We do a high wall too which is 66”. But my yurts are for camping so it’s not necessary to have higher walls. The main advantage with low walls is...

    If this tree house company is the one we work with, then the yurt is one of ours. Our yurts are more traditional and therefor weigh much less than a yurt you live in. The reason they seem expensive...

    If you are looking to do something much cheaper, we sell plans of our various sized yurts, so you could do a lot of it yourself.

    If you want to try something adventurous, then you could laminate one with veneer. This is how I make them. They are only 3/4" thick for the small yurts I make so you should beef them up a bit. ...
