I've already been in contact with "johnc" on this forum, who has built a superb Yurt. When I build mine I will base it on the 9 foot diameter "weekender" yurt from Paul King's book, The Complete Yurt Handbook, although I will modify it so that the sides are a bit taller (probably 4 foot/4foot 6) and 2 doors opposite each other. A door at each "end" is great for ventilation this, and the increased wall height are based on our previous yurt rentals. There are only 2 of us and this size will be a good compromise between room and portability. Timber will probably be off the shelf prepared as here on the Isle of Wight coppiced poles appear hard to come by........The build will happen as time and funds allow, but I will of course share the build on here.....
Has anybody else built a Yurt and is there anything you would have done differently based on your experience?
Cheers!
