Good news from the chap who runs the company that made my yurt, a bit of camel hide stretch shouldn't wreck things too much, I'll just shore up the numbers with leather laces or paracord and hopefully it'll all be fine. I'm intending to cover the inside of the walls to some extent, being a veggie, the idea of what is basically camel bacon holding my walls together is a bit icky. Also out of the window is the idea of a side exit fire, Tim (who knows his yurts) says that it's not a good idea in the long run and can lead to cold spots around the yurt. Looking at it logically, I have to agree. The fire will go in the middle and the crown will be adapted to offer ventilation, a flue AND weather proofing at the same time. I was thinking that 12v PC fans mounted into the perspex windows and running off the solar panel would do the job of constantly moving air though the yurt, even on overcast days, the draw on PC fans is minimal. In addition to that, it may have a mega-turbo extractor (12v) taken from an old ambulance to evacuate wood smoke and chilli smoke.
Might set up a dry run this weekend with all 4 khana and the door, just to get an approximate circle size before we take the router to the wooden base. It's all very exciting!
