That may be one of the Pennsic's I made. I was in the merchant area. Was it pretty dry in the rain? I assume you staked in the rain? How did it handle in the...

There was a guy at Gulfwars, that did, was funny to see an ad on the inside of the yurt. problem is most the time, they just rip it off and by the time you...
The used bil board stuff is available; but I used to have a contct who had huge pices of the stuff that had never been hung. It was the front and back ends of...

I am sure that they pay someone to haul that stuff off. Call and company and find out when they are replacing one and see if you can have it.  With...
I think they have to "recycle" the stuff. I'm sure that why they sell it to some one who will cut it into tarp sizes. Of coarse it's a lot heavyer than a GP...

 As I'm doing research on the subject of Yurts. I'm finding some neat looking stuff I figured I'd share it with you folks. Bear with me as a lot of it is out...
I noticed that most yurt floor/platforms are round and about the size of the yurt. I was thinking a floor bigger than the yurt, and square would make a nice...
