Yurt In North Carolina

[thewimby]

Hello friends,

Apologies if some of these things have been answered - I've spent a good amount of time on these forums but can't find answers to everything in my specific situation, so I figured I'd create a post and see if some folks can weigh in.

I'm moving onto a farm in Mebane, North Carolina, halfway in between Greensboro and Raleigh. It gets very hot in the summers - it'll stay between 95-100 for weeks sometimes, and stays very humid most of the year. Today it's around 60% humidity, and sometimes gets much much higher throughout the summer and winter.

My partner have been interested in getting a yurt, but we're wondering if it's actually possible to survive year-round in that kind of heat and humidity. If so, what ways are practical to keep the yurt cool and the humidity down.

We both do work on computers and various electronics, so we're wondering if there are ways to keep the humidity and temperature even enough that we don't destroy our electronics.

I'm also wondering if there are kinds of

insulation

that are important for these problems, and other kinds that aren't worth the money.

And my last question is - I've looked at many yurt companies and a lot of them seem to offer pretty similar products. Are there a few companies that are very known for being much better than others? And enough better than others that it's worth paying more shipping for them?

Sorry, I know that's a lot - if you have any thoughts or answers to one or any of these questions, it'd be so appreciated! Thank you!
