Re: Cotton vs Polyester vs PVC

Great summary of the the subject matter! I'd love to hear more about why people think breathability is such a major factor in coverings for modern, North American styled yurts.

In my experience,...

Re: Electric sockets in yurts

The vertical studs that come with most wind kits are awesome for this purpose. They allow you to add outlets or switches at any height vertically and also give you an easy pathway for wire to run...

Re: Two yurts connected with a corridor

It's a good start for a conceptual outline, thanks for sharing!

Some things to consider: what style roof is on that addition? Shed style, gable, full hip, salt box, those are most common and...

Re: Permitting a yurt

Regardless of what some permit departments may want us all to believe, yurts can be permitted pretty much anywhere unless there are specific codes that block yurts in that particular area....

Re: Bear Damage! - Alternative Siding Ideas?

YOWZA! Guess those bearproof yurt shirts are out 👀 Looks like you did a good job for a long run. Some bears are more curious than others. I wonder if a radio playing inside on talk radio would...

Re: Colorado Yurts Now Using Velcro as Roof to Wall Connection

Yes, they didn't change it until recently but not sure exactly when as they didn't announce it. We had clients around April of this past year that got the lacing system as standard. Hoping that...

Re: Add 2nd door to existing yurt

Aloha Melissa,

It can be done but it isn't without it's challenges. If it's their old roof to wall lacing system then you'll need to cut the lacing on either side of the intended door and tie it...

Re: Best Jurisdictions for Yurt/Off Grid Living

I'd probably check with some of the yurt companies on the East Coast. Maybe the ladies at Blue Ridge Yurts?

Many counties just don't know what a yurt IS or they've heard a bunch of...

Re: Yurt vapor barriers to combat mould

Reflective insulation would likely be superior to any breathable insulation for preventing mold. Think Reflective, as that will reflect the heat back out and back the area between the insulation and...

Re: Insulation

Not aiming to be harsh, please hear me out - You tried to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes that works out well but many times it doesn't, especially in an area where you've had multiple companies for...

Re: Ring failed. Image of construction. What's your opinion?

Definitely looks very sparse on the glue. Screws alone aren't strong enough to hold a soft wood ring together under major weight. I want to see 2 nuts/bolts on each straight wood length on a ring,...

Re: Mixing Yurt Components

Ahg, sorry, just read the OP! So you have a line on second hand Pac yurt skins as well as a line on a Colorado yurt frame and hoping they would fit.

From experience, I don't recommend this route...

Re: Mixing Yurt Components

It can be done but Pacific is unlikely to be willing. I have done the reverse on a Pacific Yurt, I had to go in person to take all measurements and place the order, covered it with a Colorado roof...

Re: Issues with the Yurt Designer and Formal Design

James, maybe start with a brief overview of Smiling Woods Yurts. They are a wooden round house, AKA a panel yurt. Not the same as a traditional yurt. Most houses aren't rocket science or a Gothic...

Re: Issues with the Yurt Designer and Formal Design

I don't understand the mindset that this seems to be reflecting, but maybe (hopefully) there's more to the story. You are paying for a custom job. There is a lot of knowledge, know how, and active...

Re: Can you help me find the manufacturer

I am 100% certain that this is a yurt done by Great American Yurts/Yurts of America (they changed their name right around that time). They are/were the only ones I've seen to use velcro for the wall...

Re: Compression ring not level

Yes, you can. Be sure to make those nuts extra tight once it's level so it doesn't happen again.
