I'm so impressed by that yurt build, I would talk with that yurt company them and ask them how they would insulate one of their yurts in the location you will be living.

Re: Yurt sizes.....16 vs 20 ft or?

You don't need a permanent deck. Just erect your yurt on a tarp 'bathtub' fashion. Fold the floor tarp up on the outside of the wall frame, under the cover, and the low tension band will hold it...

Re: Yurt sizes.....16 vs 20 ft or?

If you opt for a yurt >do not< repeat >do not< get a canvas cover! Spend the money and get a vinyl 15 year cover. Trust me on that. The pacific nwest is NOT canvas country!
