My plan is to eventually buy some desert land and put down a yurt I live in Missouri and it can be very humid and rains alot here, it won't be for a while I'm sure but I appreciate you having videos about owing and maintenance.

However the science is the science and a greater R value means less heat transfer. The other factor is the amount of floor square footage per wall size. Based on my calculations a yurt will be about 20% more efficient for a given R-value. It’s probably actually even better because there are no windows.

Is the floor well insulated for winter living? If so, what materials are used? If a yurt has windows, can they be double or triple pane glass for the insulating factors?

I have a solution that you might try. This is a modification of the ring on the crown. A: the ring needs six groves cut into it on each side . This will allow none interference with the second piece of the crown wich needs to rotate 360° whaaaAAAT!? a two piece crown ... Yes! There needs to be a grove cut on the inside of the crown about 1/2" - 3/4 deep this allows the top of the crown to float on a roller system. You will need some 1/16 inch sheet metal it needs to be in three sections and hinged for portablility. In the center section. Is your stove pipe the other two sections are vented just like the attic in your house they will release moisture. Keep heat in and let moisture out. I can't give you specific measurements because no to yurts are the same. It's just the nature of the beast. The nice thing about the system is if the wind is blowing at you then you can spin your stove pipe 180° ... Try that

Does house wrap freeze if the inside of the yurt is kept above freezing ? At worst mechanical ventilation taking moist air from the highest point in the yurt, in cold weather to the outside preferably with a air heat exchanger. They use very little energy and recover your heat.

Slowly gravitating toward a small yurt to situate on my acreage in Yukon for personal use. Any serious climber, sailor, or world traveller uses wool against their body. I understand the benefits. Have you studied the efficiency of double felt on the roof and single felt walls or variations therein? I live in a cold place and want to maximize my heat retention with the least upstart cost... go figure. Expectation is to use about 4 cords to heat the yurt with a soapstone stove. Presently heat a 1700 sq ft cabin for about the same.

Hi yes, as long as some precautions are taken. Install in a ventilated area, not in a forest. The horse hair ropes will have to be replaced for straps. If you have access to electricity, a mini-split is a great idea as it helps cooling down while taking care of inside moisture levels

I have a breathable(expensive) house wrap on my yurt, as I anticipated this problem. I run a oversized stove, I ventilate, and I run a de-humidifer. I still have rain issues for a few weeks during the year.. I'm in a rainforest area. It's mostly in mid-late fall/early spring. I'm thinking about improving the yurt living by 1- positively pressurizing the yurt for better air quality, although this can only be used during non-yurt rain periods. 2- Altering ventilation so that there is a top vent for times when the yurt is raining. (I currently have a two cross-breezes and a fan. 3- Minimizing wood drying in yurt during yurt rain events, using cooking methods with low evaporation, running a de-humidifier during the worst periods. 4- Putting tapestry (with poly on the back) to re-direct moisture away from any areas where dripping is a major issue(beds/sitting areas). I think thats about as good as it gets. At the end of the day, its yurt living. edit: I find during mid-winter and with snow on the roof the humidity problem is less of an issue than during period of high rain and cooler temps when the woodstove is run less

Thank you warmly for your input which was somehow missed! Overall I completely agree: the first step is to well understand the process of condensation, install well and monitor the production of moisture and like a Mongolian supplier put it very simply : ventilate, ventilate, ventilate... We are still constantly looking at the easiest possible ways to help control condensation and your input helps!

A rocket stove is definitely a great idea for more permanent settings. The standard wood stove helps with moisture. I am not familiar enough with rocket stoves to know if they also contribute to dry the air, or if they can gove the heat "kick" to dry the yurt from inside out once humid

@@Groovyyurts I think they provide radiant heating. Although for radiant heating I would reccomend radiant floor heating/underfloor heating. Notable examples of what I mean would be the Chinese Kang bed-stove or the Korean Ondol. The ancient Greek Hypocaust or its descendant the Gloria might be an option. I've been thinking of ways to heat my own Yurt (once I get one) as I plan to live in Alaska one day. Underfloor heating seems like a good option to me as it's out of the way and the heating effect is much more efficient than just the wood burning stove. I think it should answer the moisture problem but I don't know for sure. The Ondol is my favorite option to try and adapt when I finally get the opportunity to. Since I would have to make a foundation anyway why not make the most of it and clear the floor space? Just my thoughts. Thanks for the reply.

We have a dozen yurts in Iceland with radiant heating. The issue is that all humidity evaporates in the ceiling, leaving the ground air very dry. The parade is to install a ceiling fan and make sure that excess of moisture can escape (ventilation)@@Muttsist

i'm a full time rv'er and 30+ year nomad. i'm lucky i have shore power living in near desert conditions. when i can afford to run AC, there's always a gallon or more condensation coming off the roof, so i have to keep my seams sealed or the wall frame on the inside rots and destroys my rv. in the winter, i open the roof vents just enough to see sky, but not let in rain. heat rises and takes moisture with it. this isn't my first rv, but it is the first to see the interior walls delaminate and bowe from summer humidity. keeping the roof vents cracked, never had a problem with humidity and the heat loss at 12F ambient was negligible. lost more heat to the floor and floor vents since cold air falls and heat/moisture is attracted to cold. beware heat leaching at ground level and thermal bridging on the walls. it's not just the roof that will rob you of heat/cool and feed you back what you sweat and breath out. sealed spaces are the ultimate recyclers.

I've come up with an alternative way of putting up a yurt-esque building: 2.7 m (~9 ft) high panels, 1 m (~3ft) wide, made out of 2x4" wooden frames and mineral wool. Some of them will have a window 60cm (~2 ft) away both from the floor and the ceiling (I know, 1.50 m by 1m approx may sound like way too much, depends on your needs though). 18mm (~3/4 in) panels both for inside and outside of the panel, with electricity and plumbing hidden beneath. The main idea is to have the vertical beams slightly tilted. You'd only need to cut the horizontal beams of this frame in an angle on a miter saw, in each end. Both the vertical beams would be fastened to the edges of the panel besides... you get the idea, when every panel adds up to a general angle, you're creating some sort of a "circular" shape. I've been crunching the numbers and a 7.5° tilt on both sides gives you a 15° turn per panel, which in turn ends up in 6 panels for a square 90° turn. This leads to a 429.78 cm (~14.1 ft) total length per turn... doubling it gives us around 8.6 m (~28.2 ft) diameter. Of course, this is all theory. In practice, a ton of stuff could end up showing how I miscalculated things... but it's still a nice idea to jump into, isn't it? I'm still trying to figure out how the roof could be put up. It certainly would suit more of a permanent residence use rather than a nomad one... so perhaps a metal roof with proper insulation would end up being needed. But again, this defies the yurt's nomadic nature. Yet it also puts in jeopardy how rectangles or triangles rule most of everyday architecture. Will give it a try once I'm able to!

Don't ignore this message !! REPENT NOW !! God the Son - JESUS came in the flesh to die for sinners. TRUST that God raised JESUS from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !! Don't say you were not warned !! ONLY true believers in JESUS will be suddenly taken. THEN comes 7 horrific years of God's JUDGEMENT, poured out on the world. I pray that the LORD will open your eyes and heart to the GOSPEL.

Do not Mongolians make the first layer out of some animal hide? Thats really where i think they get so much durability from that layer of Animal hide then layer of fur. Why not clear plastic as the first layer inside? Be nice if you could make a giant styrofoam dome that ships in 2 pieces or something that could be the first layer. Or polystyrene. I know poly is doable at those sizes.
