Question: How come all these environmentally-conscious people designing and building yurts and round houses never put the wood stove in the center of the structure, for the most efficient heating? That's the way the traditional housing they're emulating were designed. The plastic skylight in the center looks cool, but shouldn't function be the driving concern?

[@n108bg]

The traditional yurt had a firepit in the center, hence the hole in the center of the yurt. Firepits aren't horrendously efficient, as all that smoke coming off tends to be burnable hydrocarbons that didnt get a proper fuel to air mixture to burn, which is why you see "Smokeless" firepits that are designed to pull in air. On top of this, they had a hole in the center that was both letting out hot air and letting in cold air, thus efficiency issues. There isn't a real idea given on the efficiency of a yurt, but a good comparable may be the estimated 15% efficiency of some fireplaces without modern designs that allow the fire to use air pulled from outside the home. Meanwhile, stoves can be upwards of 80% efficient, while modern designs allow for fewer drafts, better insulation, and the hole at the top of the yurt can be more for decoration. Because of the higher efficiency both in the heat source and of the building, having the stove at the center of the building isn't a requirement, and moving the stove out to the side can give the owner a lot more flexibility in how they want to plan out the structure. In other words, the clear plastic dome on the top is a relic of the original design. Modern concepts and materials mean you can put the stove wherever you want and a small amount of airflow can keep the yurt nice and evenly heated without having the stove in the most efficient and most centralized location. This makes it easier to make the yurt your own. On a side note, most yurt designs (the ones with the lattice structure for the outside and rope/cable retainer for the top) maybe run an inch or 2 of insulation, traditionally felt, but more modern iterations typically use a bubble wrap with reflective coating (like a space blanket) and maybe an inch of additional insulation. The lowest minimum insulation values in the U.S, according to the IECC, are r30 ceiling and r13 wall, which with an r5 insulation could be achieved with 6 inches and 2.75 inches ceiling and wall insulation, respectively. Because of this, most of the designs out there for yurts aren't going to be anywhere close to as energy efficient as a modern home, even if you consider the lower surface area of a yurt's walls compared to that of a square or rectangular home. The design pictured, which mimics techniques and materials used in modern housing, at least has a chance of getting close, if not meeting those specs since it can incorporate traditional insulation, but strays furthest from the traditional yurt's design, incorporating a faceted side design instead of a circular design.

Need 40 size yurt in mi

[@winkhvac62]

Could you live in a yurt?

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

Yes its mortgage free if you own your land.

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

Yes its an ancient homes..

[@Onthelauchpad]

Building codes?

[@khanyamkhize1622]

Which material is cheaper for building a yurt?

[@debraboone8579]

I have never seen a yurt made like this what is the cost difference between this one a the yurts with canvas?

[@ritaswanson7077]

Need to know

[@L.J.01]

Much more costly! I've been following this company for years, thinking of building one, but they stopped being affordable about 4-5 years ago, long before the cost of wood went up. Can't imagine the cost now after the pandemic and the increase in wood.

[@faithfulone2509]

How much do they cost

[@zacharykewl8945]

Whats wrong with this video? There is no measurements. How wide and long are the panels? how wide is the door? What are the demensions of the windows? Is the yurt 16 feet wide, 24 feet wide, or 32 feet wide?

[@johng423]

+Zachary Kewl - This video was intended to be just it is titled, an demonstration of the basic steps of assembling one of the yurt kits the company, Smiling Woods Yurts, sells. Apparently, the basic steps are pretty much the same no matter what the size is. This video is probably used in sales presentations, to introduce people to yurts. Their website (see URL in description) does give more details and some helpful (but general) information. (Example: how high should windows be installed?) If you are interested in building your own yurt and looking for plans, I guess you'll need to watch more videos and do more research. My brother and his wife built one and lived in it the first few years of their marriage, even though neither of them had any homebuilding or construction experience. So there must be information out that is detailed enough for the DIY builder.

[@tonyofarrell2775]

I hope their yurt is better than the video

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

Its the design. Its up to you how wide you want circumference diameters same design applies.

[@funwithrandomnesable]

@edfrhes its a wood yurt and is made the same way as a yurt with rafters and the tension band

[@johnrogan9420]

Solid as a 🪨rock!

[@Theelderdragon01]

Yurts are like Tipi's, They vent from the bottom to the top center smoke hole. The biggest mistake yurt and Tipi builders make is to reduce or totally eliminate the natural convection venting which precipitates condensation problems. Mold will then become and issue.

[@Davo198]

Totally agree. Any company that wants to build high quality yurts and want to have sky domes in the roof need to also have a function for it to lift up and down easily using a pole (especially in the day time during the summer).

[@Iamfrancelys]

The domes do vent

[@kirsten85409]

@@Davo198 If you go to their website and look at the options the domes do open up as a vent.

It's a unique circular shape ♪ It's a very nice house ♪

Does anyone knows any general contractors from USA, who BUILD using a kit from Smiling Wood Yurts only? Thanks

[@larrydonaghy8741]

what is your name

[@5959512]

how much for a 30 foot building

[@MeineJurte]

Interesting design. We also building yurts, but traditional with lattice walls ;)

[@dustinbowles5162]

why is that elder dragon please explain

[@edfrhes]

That is not a yurt. It is a round building shaped like a yurt.

What are the R- value of these yurts?????

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

Depending on the materials you use its been diverse but warm enough if you're smart.about hearing. Rocket stove would be best.

[@katiesmith-di3mr]

I want one...do they come big enough for family of five?

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

You could live in it obcorse no different than any square homes. you make it high enough 16ft. Make lofts above and master.suite below.

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

An easier built.would be arch bow structure

[@Theelderdragon01]

You are correct that it is a round building shaped like a yurt. It will have massive interior condensation problems.

[@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137]

All.it needs is a proper vents above

[@MeineJurte]

@@asiangoddesscottagelifegar7137 Absolutely, we also building yurts and the ventilation is very important.

[@yonihales9133]

its kinda a short wooden cylo with a yurt inspired roof I wouldnt call this a yurt...nice though, but its a wooden cyloish building.

[@donkeyballs3307]

Thus isn't a yurt
