Dear Friend, Thanks for joining. Great pictures. Do you have more pictures from the construction phase? Cheers Rob _____ From: YurtResource@yahoogroups.com...
Unfortunately I have no more pictures. The yurt was made from hazel rods cut in the local forest in winter time. In Poland hazel growing in state owned forests...
Yours is a beautiful yurt but would be ill suited to the windy plains of South Dakota here in the U.S.A. That is why I deliberately incorporate more wood and...

Now I have to learn how to load photos. My son-in-law knows how to do that but he lives several hundred miles away. You might have to wait a few weeks 'till...

Hi Michal, A small felted yurt can be transported on the roof of a car. Felt or not it’s easy to move. In Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan high winds are not unusual...
After the yurt is erected, you could go around and spray ROUNDUP on the ground to kill all weeds and grass. After that you could plop down pallets the...

We have had a 16 foot yurt for about 4 years using it for extended camping trips. Now, we're putting the same yurt on a platform to use as a house while we...
You're right, there isn't much traffic here. I don't know if there is a better yurt site or not. I was surprised to find more yurts than I had expected. I'm in...
I live in north GA. Funny about codes. A yurt is considered temporary housing, and therefore, not subject to any building codes or inspections. A bed and...
Is anyone here living in a yurt in CT? Will be moving there soon and can't find much info on yurts there. There is a state park that has one so I know it's...

Some businesses actually give away pallets which you can lay down for a floor. Just put plywood or particle board over the pallets and you have a good floor...
A fierce wind came up while I was gone and, upon my return, I found that the yurt was now higher because I had tied the canvas to the frame and it rose in...
... Close escape there!! Got any pictures that make it more clear? Weight is our only solution, but be clever: For outside, two ropes you need, making...
Hi all, I am glad I found a forum about yurts. I am currently in the process of brainstorming to build a ger. I got "The Complete Yurt Handbook" in the mail a...
My canvas came from paint stores where several grades of canvas were available. It is used as drop cloth to catch paint that is spilled, dripped, or sloshed....
I just now ordered a copy of THE COMPLETE YURT HANDBOOK from Barned and Noble at a total cost, plus shipping, of less than twendy dollars (American). Only 121...
Has anyone here dealt with Colorado Yurts? If so, how did you like them? the customer service? the yurt itself? Anything you have to say would be helpful....
Hi Forest & Lisa, I thought you two are Europe based? Europe is full of fabulous yurt makers and you want to import one from the states? Best wishes, Regards, ...
No, we are in Texas. That is part of the reason I like Colorado Yurts, their features look like what we want for here and they are closer than Oregon and...
Frank, I hope you enjoyed the book. I got my inspiration from it, and found the instructions to be thorough, if a bit confusing in spots. I used it as the...
