Re: Roof and Exterior Wall Replacement
Canvas is definitely your short life cover IF you leave the yurt up year around. Five years of continuous exposure to the sun and wind here in CO mine was shot. Really, three years is closer to a full on rain without issue like drips. So any non canvas fabric, like 'sunbrella' for example, would probably last longer. That's just a guess though I haven't used it. Professional yurt covers have 3X the life if not more.
Cotton canvas wall tents WILL last a lifetime as stated by manufacturers, but that is with a month of use each year or less, and with proper fully dry storage out of the sun.
Imagine leaving your canvas tarp out over the woodpile for five years straight. You'll get the picture about canvas.
