First time yurt builder with question...

[Bob Rowlands]

A bit off topic. My 16' unimproved, home made yurt, is very portable. It easily fits in the 6'4" bed of my Tundra with plenty of room left for other gear. The walls and rafters are just under eight feet and fit diagonally across the bed. Tear down and set up takes about two hours by myself. I would imagine a yurt made by a pro company in that size range would be similar in erection time.

As for portability of other yurts that are larger, I'm sure there is more work, but unless you have a massive yurt like 24' and larger, setup and take down would still be less than a day.

As for quality the makers that advertise here make VERY good yurts. I don't know where best fits into this but there you go.
