    Just a few minutes in and already 10 times better than any other natural build vid I've seen. Giving actual math and useful terms and showing how to determine all aspects of the roof. Very nice breakdown in a genre that tends to give spiritual advice on structural issues.

    In the early 70's we were building yurts with reciprocal roofs. Back then it was an old technology.

    WE BUILD THE TOP HALF STAR ON TOP FIRST THEN SIDES DOWN A FRAME PART AND THEN THE LOWER SIDES OF THE PENTAGON SHAPES AFTER TO RAISE IT UP BUT BUILD THE TOP GET IT TOGETHER AND HAVE ABOUT 6 LIFT AND ELEVATE AND BUILD UP LIKE WE DO WHEN WE PUT UP TENTS !

    I think the original reciprocal frame roof was the American Indian Tipi! It is don't much the same way and the have been doing to for thousands of years! All the poles fit in a certain way and thenare wrapped with a rope! Ingenious!

    Thanks Tony such a good instructional video. I'm making a pallet yurt at the mo and its going to be on a platform. Small 2.8m yurt. When the yurt is built, two poles will slide underneath between the bearers and 4 strong people should be able to lift it and plonk it on a trailer for moving, failing that pulled up onto a trailer on the bearers as skids.
    I wanted to build a reciprocal roof and you showed me how. My walls will be pallets. It will be 8 walls, 1 of those a door and 1 a window. Geez on second thoughts it's going to have to be 4 very strong people or 8 would do it easy or a tractor with a couple of strops. No problems only solutions. I'll tell you how goes.
    One question, when the poles at the top protrude do you just flatten them with a nice sharp saw or chain saw then a plywood ring attached to the ends of the rafters and curved wood on the ring to shed water once the roof is on.

    Uh yeyeyyee another question:
    What treatment do you give to the woods so they remain OK without plagues? I mean, some people at the beach uses burned car oil... but, I reckon there might be other thing that makes it last longer, with a more nature-loving approach... what could that be?

    Reciprocal roof frames are self-supporting structures that date back to the 12th Century. They are used in Chinese and Japanese architecture, as well as being something that Leonardo Da Vinci explored in detail. You don't half talk bullshit, we have had these almost a 1000 years, 20 years my ass!!

    • @LitoGeorge

      I made one out of bamboo sticks stuck together at the peak with hotglue. Only 6 sticks about 7" long. Wasnt a round shape at all, some crazy shape that I dont have a name for. I weighed it on an accurate scale - 5grams worth. I then started to test weight on it - and I got up to 1.181kg's and none of the sticks broke but they sure were bending. Thats a ratio of 1: 236 and it could take more. Whilst it obviously sagged down, they didnt separate nor touch the flat table surface beneath them. I think if thats any indication, its without question this can support a good solid Canadian winter. I lived in NS and we got all time record snows 3 years back, and had a barn and house to look after during it. I've seen them support living roofs and thats a PILE of weight on it, with no ill effects.

Or they replicate it 15 time so each couple will learn to do it and help the others build their own?? or is the only unique owner paying a huge load of workers for making his home?? are they paid with actual money or only with "knowledge"??
