Re: yurt needing repair

If you have wood walls it sounds like you may have a Coperthwaite tapered wall yurt. If so, I recommend ordering a set of plans from the Yurt Foundation. Their website is https://www.dryurts.com/. ...

Re: Connecting Yurt to the Grid

I think it's a great question. All of the yurts I have lived in have been without power. I would love to see what people say.

Re: Largest yurt in America

My guess would be Bill Coperthwaite's triple concentric yurt in Maine.

Re: Wooden Yurt Plans for permit

I agree with getting the plans from the Yurt Foundation, the Bill Coperthwaite ones. I have lived in two of his yurts in Alaska (hard climate) and loved them both.
I also participated in a build in...

Re: Choosing a Yurt in NZ

Me too! Currently living in a boring box but never quite forsaking the dream of a triple concentric.

Re: Choosing a Yurt in NZ

Yes. I lived in a double concentric for a few years. Then later participated in a build in Idaho. There were 13 of us and we went from laying the platform on a site that was already leveled to a...

Re: Choosing a Yurt in NZ

I'm a big fan of the tapered wall yurt. If you contact the Yurt Foundation in Machiasport Maine US they have plans. A group of people, like 10-12 can do the build in about a week once you have your...

Re: Privacy in loft rooms

May not be possible if you have a fabric yurt but we had a wooden one that was double concentric. Opposite sides of the outer ring were incredibly private and we co-existed quite nicely. I would do...

Re: How long in a yurt

We lived in a yurt for over two years and loved it. It was a slope sided wooden yurt, not a tent. It was double concentric so it was very private for two persons and the space was well used. ...

Re: Tips/floor plan for family

Think donut. One inside the other.

Check out yurtinfo.org for an explanation of Bill Coperthwaite's design.

Re: A Couple New Resources

I am thrilled to see the site up and running again. Thank you so much for not letting it die. Very happy to see the link to Coperthwaite.

Re: Yurt Living without Isolation (ie, Community)

I lived in a yurt in Fairbanks. There were a couple in town. There are also a couple in Juneau where I live now and at least one in Haines. I think if you are outside of major cities a yurt can...

Re: Construction Costs

We worked with a group and build a slant wall wooden yurt (20') in Idaho a few years back. Total cost was around $20k for materials. We provided the labor and the windows still needed to be...

Re: Bottom of floor?

I would go the extra for the sandwich. For one you will want the insulation. Also it will keep critters from nibbling on your insulation.

Re: Tips/floor plan for family

Check out concentric yurts. We live in a small one and it was very private in the outer ring. The center was our "living room" and the outer ring had kitchen, desk, bedroom. Didn't really hear...

Re: Newbie, Dreaming Phase

Check out tapered wall yurts. You can still get the plans from Dickinsons Reach. In my opinion concentric yurts are terrific for a family. They are easy to build. If you get a crew together you can...

Re: I Wonder How Many Yurts Are in the US?

I can personally vouch for several in Alaska.

I think it would be hard. As someone already hinted, small or alternative dwellings are not welcomed by some communities causing yurts and tiny houses...

Re: How to store water in cold climates

We just keep a couple 5 gallon jugs and fill them at work to bring home as we need them. Plumbing is a hassle in a super cold climate so we also shower at work and have a dry yurt. It would be...

Re: Coperthwaite's Concentric Yurt

Yes. Contact Dickenson's Reach.

I want to say that I have lived in two of Coperthwaite's yurts and helped build another. I love this design. The angle of the walls is perfect and while there...

Re: QUESTION: What would you do differently?

Re: QUESTION: What would you do differently?

A lot depends on which part of Alaska you are in. I lived quite happily in a wooden tapered side yurt in Fairbanks. Lots of insulation and easily heated. Not as mobile perhaps but all the round...
