      @@zacharysmith9472 the yurt took about 3 weeks in real time. 1.5 weeks for the platform and 1.5 weeks for the walls/cover/roof. Really the hard work comes after the assembly of figuring out how you'll heat it. If you'll plumb it and run electrical, and how you'll design it.

      Thank you! The dogs definitely help. Lol! We've lived in the yurt for almost a year now, and the bugs have been VERY low that make it into the yurt so the perimeter edge must help with that. We also sealed it with a foam strip when we screwed down the skirting. And we have been SO impressed with how dry the yurt has stayed. With the pellet stove going it stays very low on the moisture side!

We don’t know what type of flooring we will have, do you have any suggestions, will be building in the desert. Of Joshua tree.The people at Pacific Yurts told us it would take about 3 to 4 days to put up.. but of course that’s not taking into affect the time to build a base. I will look at your whole video to see the “dull moments” 🤣.. depending on the land, will determine if we are using solar panels, batteries, or electricity. We will probably have a lot of questions.

    My wife and I are considering the same. We are debating a 40ft platform to have a deck already built too.

    How well does this handle the winds here? I’m hoping that my husband and I will eventually settle down and maybe get something like this. Right now we are doing the rv thing. Thanks for sharing!

      So far it has done great but we only just installed it this summer and we haven’t had a big wind yet this winter. That being said, I’m not very concerned. We installed the optional snow and wind kit that provides a lot more stability. We are in Washington state by the way.

      Lol. We still had to do the snow and wind kit so the scaffolding came out a little later.

    I'm really struggling with finding the right fabric for the outside that's natural, but protective from the rain. What kind of fabric did yall go with?

    I have a question - why didn't you put isolation under the entire floor but only some?

    • @OneFootOfftheGrid
      @OneFootOfftheGrid  4 місяці тому

      We insulated the floor in the areas that would be hard to reach once the floor was on. We came back and completed the rest of the insulation once the yurt was assembled.

    The floor insulation was only on one side of the yurt, why was that? The roof was insulated, but the sides only showed one layer, for the walls. I was looking into Pacific Yurts earlier and the walls have more layers, including insulation. Thank you for the video, it did help me to get a better overall look at building a Yurt.

    • @OneFootOfftheGrid

      We put insulation under the whole deck. The portions that had decent crawl space area we did after the platform was completed.

    Minty thanks

      They are the official plans from Pacific Yurts. www.yurts.com/downloads/

      While these tents are commonly referred to as Yurts...yurts have rafters which curve downwards just before the sidewall...this design with straight rafters is called a Ger.
      Dig holes three feet deep, put in a tire, fill with dirt, tamp well, use lag bolts to screw through the sidewall of the next tire, screwing it to the first one, repeat until you are 2 feet above grade. This will give you almost free footings that go below the frost line, which will prevent the floor buckling in the winter.
      Either make a mechanism which will raise the clear plexiglass dome on the roof ring, so you can vent heat when it's hot outside, or just use the cloth cover the Mongolians used for centuries.
      Build a Rocket Mass Heater, with the thermal mass built into the wood deck to save space, so you can heat the Ger efficiently all winter.

    Hello! Me and my family are going to start a community farm with many yurts and one huge yurt for religious purposes, I tried to gather as much as I could from the video but if it isn't to much to ask what are some things that made the job a whole lot easier?

    • @OneFootOfftheGrid
      @OneFootOfftheGrid  2 роки тому +1

      Very smart to ask these questions before trying to install. A couple of the most important ones:
      1. Have more help than you think. The covers are extremely heavy. I'd say having 4-5 people would make it go pretty smoothly.
      2. Use a scaffolding. I've seen people place the center ring with only using ladders, but the scaffolding make things so much easier.
      3. Think about unfolding the cover first and then refolding. Ours what so stuck together it made it almost impossible to unfold. We put some baby powder between the folds to make it easier to install (the second time).
      4. Platform - Use construction adhesive to secure the boards to the joists to prevent squeaks.

    I would not leave the insolation unprotected from below .First plywood then insolation

    • @OneFootOfftheGrid
      @OneFootOfftheGrid  2 місяці тому

      That's a super smart idea, and I wish we would have done it because we have chickens now and they really like to peck at the insulation!
