Built my best yurt to date as a wedding present for my favorite ex. She and her husband love it- especially the dutch door. It’s going so well that I may begin yurt-mongering semi-professionally.

I’ve built a few yurts thus far. They’re everything people say- practical, strong, sacred, and pleasing to the eye. Building one appeals to a body’s sense of self-satisfaction, and if you’re one to consider the science wrapped up such things, it’s amazing on a whole additional level.
Ya don’t have to be a carpenter (although I happen to be) to build a yurt. Aside from the materials, all it takes is tools and a decent hand for making things. Both of these can be borrowed or rented if needs be.
As for the know-how, I’d be happy to share a step-by-step breakdown of what it takes and what to do. It gets a little wordy, and some of the work gets a little tedious in spots, but it’s definitely worth doing. Ya see, us yurt folks like to see this sort of knowledge get around ( bad pun intended). It’s a thing with us.
Sincerely-
