I'm new to the list. I tried to search the archives for my answer to no avail. Has anyone built their yurt on an earthen floor of any sort? If this has already...
I am trying to figure out what my initial costs will be for my yurt and was wondering how much your foundations cost and what kind you built and how much you...
Hi, my name is Glenn, and I'm actually just reaching out to look for help with my yurt projects. My wife and I built ourselves a yurt last summer, from the...
I am assuming you will have to post links to your pics - I would love to see them! I am going to buy a yurt in a few months and I have a ton of questions...
Welcome Glenn! An idea I was toying with, but never did, was getting one of those plexiglass domes from a playground jungle gym company. You can seen them at...
hey sarah, my dh and i found that the platform deck cost as much as the yurt ! (i.e., lots!). there are programs out there to help. it will depend on the price...
Thanks for the reply. I found the plan with the cost worksheet you are talking about. It uses pre-fabbed concrete footings that were set right on the surface...
Hi Sarah, Is there any reason to use concrete footings? How heavy is your yurt? Ours rests on some concrete blocks and river stones. We are thinking of using...

I guess I assumed you needed footings, but apparently not. The Yurt itself isn't very heavy, but wood stoves and refrigerators are. Does your yurt have...
Hi Sarah, We have a kitchen in the yurt. In most situations footings aren’t necessary. However if you have lots of time and money then go ahead and pour a...
Hi, My fiancee and I are building a multi-yurt home in southern Vermont. Our project is on-line at http://www.yippee.cc/ with pics and descriptions, etc. We...
For those with plumbing, how did you run your vent stack? Did you go through the roof? We had a plan drawn up that had the main stack going thru the roof,...
We are on exposed rock ledge, so in some places we didn't have to dig at all. Any place where we hit immovable rock above the frost line we anchored right to...
I loved your website!!! I spent my whole lunch hour (and then some) looking at your progress photos. I asked the same question about the vent - I hope...
cool! i'm glad that you found the site. my dh and friends dug down below the frost line (3 feet) with a jack hammer due to the amount of rock in the soil! our...
Thanks, we had so many people asking about the project that it became easier to point them at a web site. Plus, heck, we don't want to forget what the heck we...
Hi everyone, I'm new to the group, nice to meet you all. Here's a link to my site, where I have some pictures of my home-made yurt, its construction and first...
... I just used my old domestic sewing machine, used a heavy needle, and went quite slow. It seemed to work fine, I dunno why people say you need an...
Hi Yurt Maker, I loved your photographs and I am really pleased to find someone making their own yurt. I am sure you can confirm it is a simple process and ...
Sadly my Ger is not the snowy white one I think you are talking about, but the one with the nasty black tarpaulin cover instead. I'm still saving for a proper...
Hi Dawn, I'm new to the group and also living in Connecticut. (Burlington) Please let me know how it goes with the town officials. One of my biggest concerns...
Presuming you are working with a modern yurt (and thus a modern yurt manufacturer) ask for any references from customers living in your area or similar area....
Sorry its taken me a while to reply properly, I'm just coming up to speed on negotiating discussion groups, and I just started classes for the semester. The...
Thanks for getting back to me, I've actually seen a company that will make domes in a variety of materials to whatever size you want. The question for me is...
I talked to Great American Yurts about their product and they discourage the Plexiglass domes. The reason he gave was you cannot open it all the way - it only...
