This is the time of year I do most of my work on my yurt (hunting camp). I post less in the forums about it now because there is just so little time. If it...
I think everyone is busy with summer time things.I try and stop by at least once a day.but it seems all the other yurt forums i belong to are dead as well....
I have been considering setting up some solar panels at my Yurt. I came across these flexible solar panels that look like they could be attached/bonded to the...
I'm inclined to think it best to adhere the panel to a rigid structure. Because the roof is subject to ruffling in a wind might disrupt adhesion of the panel...
Layering flexible PV's on fabrics, rafters & vinyl doesn't mean they all will play well together.My limited research from a couple of years ago tends to...
best way is to attach tabs to the roof so you can remove the panels if needed for cleaning or repair. making it a pemament part of the roof is a very bad...
I'm new here and doing some browsing mostly. My husband, kids and I have been spending all our free time looking at land that will become our future...
We are also planning on buying land and possibly using the yurt as a stepping stone. Just waiting for the right deal to come along.

I have worked with all types of solar and developed several new types of glassless panels for military use. We actually made a folding solar panel and it was...
could you put a piece of "astro-foil" between the roof and the solar panel to help with the burn threw?? Â ken ________________________________ From: m lynn...
I understand the lure and the thought process of the unisolar concept. I like the concept. I wish it would work as advertised. It has too many problems in my...
Finally finished off the lath walls, after a good year of problems keeping the yurt's walls from getting finished on my end. Lack of money, lack of power...
I made my own lath from 2*4s also. its easier if you drill the holes first and then rip the boards. I used a rivet gun 5/8ths rivets and washers for my...
I finally got a day to work on the 4.5 meter Ger. This summer has been too hectic to get much work done on it, but today was good, and there were no honey do...

The metal dish I had was divided into 4 bolt together sections. It was a 10 foot dish. I put the the 4x4's in the ground and put a metal strap(like you would...
Hi everyone, I have an idea for a yurt cover and I wanted to get some feedback. I was looking at scale armor, and wondered if you could cover a yurt with it....
I think it would have to hang over but not attached to the yurt itself - sort of like a rain fly on a tent. Would you use that recycled rubber/plastic stuff...
That is basically how most house roofing systems work: tiles, shingles, corrugated metal, etc are all overlapping like scales. Unless you are talking about...
maybe there is some useful ness in the marine shrink wrap, that is being used for domes nova "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a...
I was thinking that you could cut the ends off beer cans and then cut it down the middle, and when you flatten it out, you have a nice piece of aluminum to...
I would think that you would have to consider the weight of such an idea, not to mention how you would repair such a thing if one of the scales got damaged. -...
The engineering of a yurt is based on movement. The pieces all have to flex and share the load. I have heard a lot of rustling and movement in a yurt. I don't...
