WELCOME TO MY YURT PAGE. I BUILT THIS SITE TO MAYBE HELP FOLKS BUILD THIER OWN YURTS. AND HAVE A GREAT TIME DOING IT.ON
MY SITE YOU WILL FIND PICTURES OF MY PROJECTS AND SOME OF MY SHORT CUTS TO A ROOMY 16 FT YURT.YOU CAN EVEN MAKE THEM INTO
GREEN HOUSES JUST BY CHANGING THE COVER.ALL YOU NEED TO GET STARTED IS A TABLE SAW,A 3/8 DRILL AND A DRILL GUIDE, AND A JIG
SAW. THE MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED ARE 12-2X4'S A SHEET OF 3/4 PLYWOOD,A BOX OF 1 1/2 DRYWALL SCREWS,40- 1X3 FIRING STRIPS.
AND 350 5/16TH.NUTS BOLTS AND WASHER'S ABOUT 1 1/2 LONG BOLTS .THIS IS ALL YOU WILL NEED TO BUILD THE FRAME WORK.
NEXT YOU WILL NEED TO PICK A COVERING FOR YOUR YURT.FOR MY FIRST ONE I USED A 20X20 COTTON CANVUS 12OZ FOR THE ROOF AND
A 7X20 AND A 7X30 WHITE POLY TARP FOR MY SIDE WALLS.ONCE YOU PUT YOUR YURT UP THERE IS ROOM BETWEEN THE WALL COVERING
AND THE FRAME WORK FOR INSULATION IF YOU USE YOUR YURT IN THE WINTER. IT'S KINDA LIKE HAVEING A PORTABLE CABIN THAT YOU CAN
HAUL ON A STURDY ROOF RACK.THE COST FOR BUILDING YOUR YURT WILL VERY ON WHAT TYPE OF COVER YOU USETHE POLY TARPS CAN BE BOUGHT
FOR AROUND $50 BUCKS THE CANVUS DUCT WAS $160 HOWEVER YOU CAN COVER YOUR YURT WITH A CHEAP POLY TARP AND DO JUST FINE.WHEN
YOU ARE READY TO BUILD YOUR YURT DROP ME A LINE AND ILL TELL YOU WHERE THE PLANS ARE ON THE WEB.THEY ARE FREE.
