    This is probably the only yurt I've seen that inspires me to live in a yurt. The only thing I'd add is built in wardrobes with sliding doors around the centre cube.

      Thanks! Sliding doors on the outside of the cube would be pretty cool!

    Just saw your appearance on the tiny house show, and I'm really surprised this project has so little views. It's absolutely incredible, interesting and entertaining. Also, weirdly high production value! You seem to be a very cool couple, keep up the work, we're excited about your future projects! :)

      @@unnatisheregar4953 Yes. The outside covering is water proof and the circular shape helps divert heavy wind around the structure. You have to be careful of any large trees located around the yurt. The yurt would not do well if a tree fell on it.

    Subscribed! I will be watching the rest of your videos! I am hoping to build a yurt and use it as a community meditation/worship space for our church. Trying to build something close to Nature because Nature is spiritual and Nature is powerful. Would you say your experience with being more engaged closer with nature living in a Yurt has been a positive experience for your family?

    Nice job! I used to live at the Pumpkin patch back in 07 with Craig who runs the Maize. I’m in the works of putting one up next year and have been thinking about what deck design I want to use. You built yours rock solid for sure! I will definitely use some if not all of that design. Your interior is amazing! I might need to steal that loft bedroom design as well.

    • @Whimwell

    After seeing this yurt on another channel I'm obsessed with Yurts now! It is my primary goal to now build my own. One thing I can't seem to find anything on though, how are the walls? Does the whole thing shake if I were to somehow fall against the wall?

    • @Whimwell
      @Whimwell  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Walls don't shake. The thousands of pounds from the weight of the roof is putting pressure on the walls so they don't move

    2. Is there an insulating benefit to having the yurt off the ground, verses the thermal mass benefit?

    • @alexanderblackwood9143
      @alexanderblackwood9143 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe the yurt is off the ground so it makes it easier to level. Also, if it is not elevated then they may have had to build a foundation do to construction ordinances.

      This video is meant to be a brief overview of how to build a yurt. The interior can be anything (and follows more traditional building methods which you can find better tutorials elsewhere).
