yeah squeezing together tight is where the multitude of different weatherstripping comes is, hopefully can get it tight enough with that.

Re: Building 30ft yurt

Thanks, I know you mentioned air leaks around the door so want to give my best shot at minimizing those, I'll add weatherstripping to everything too

Sounds like a good idea to me, I plan on using the 1-2in Polyshield foam insulation for the walls, it flexes a lot better then rigid and is cheap. Might use rigid on the roof though.
