I'm with Bob on this. You can reinvent the wheel and spend lots of time, energy, and troubleshooting, or you can go with a pro company who has already put in the time and proving. We work with

Colorado Yurts

at our company,

Yurts of Hawaii

. The climate in Hawaii is very similar to Nicaragua, I believe we're even at the same latitude. The materials I recommend for every yurt here is

DuroLast

for the roof and ProTech for the walls, along with a reflective

insulation

that helps keep the yurts cool and also provides a vapor barrier that does an excellent job at keeping out mold. Post and pier platforms allow for venting in the floor if more cooling is needed. Opening central skylight is a must.

I visited Nicaragua about 15 years ago, beautiful place and the people so kind and humble. How is it these days?
