Wind and yurt!

[cmwingfield]

While I've never had to do this as I live in a hollow that get's no straight line wind, I've seen pictures where nylon rope is thrown over the roof of the yurt and secured to the yurt on the bender board. It doesn't go directly over but sort of around the top, and you can do multiple strands to cover the flapping. It does no harm to the yurt top from what I can see and it can be removed when you want very easily.
