    Love it - I live in Ontario - although there is not much insulation, it’s also small and simple so it would be inexpensive to heat - I think it would be perfect to have 1 good sized yurta as the main living area heated by wood pellet stove - then 2 small yurts, one on each side, with small electric heaters - 1 small yurt for bedroom and the other for bathroom

    As german scouts we use yurts too. But ours are a very different design. We use to make fire in the middle and it's designed to be put up and down very quickly and for only a couple of weeks in maximum. There is also a german youtube channel called Jurtenland which mostly talks about black yurts in particular.

    A stretch outer cover treated with ever dry that has door and window openings. That stretch over a aluminum skeleton with the stretch cover securing to the window and door frames with the windows and doors slipping in from the outside and swivel latched on the inside to the aluminum frame for a weather right fit. Then a insulated inner cover that is attached to aluminum skeleton with push pin fasteners. Design the whole thing in two sections like a circle cut in have to make it easy to move around. Then design the top to push open into a dome sliding shingles and the bottom to be the base. A lite weight portable yurt that you could even add a loft or second floor depending on the size you make. Be really cool to have one of them bests a a tent any day.

    Would be interesting to know if they thought of lightnings hitting the tent... Certainly one bigger issue in comparison to a standard house. I know this might be too much to ask, but it would be good to know whether they at least have an idea for how a Faraday cage could be provided (maybe through the skeleton if a different material is used?)

    What is the average life of the roof material vs. the wall material? Exposure to the sun and other weather elements. I know they have been in use for centuries, but I'm curious, how often will I need to replace the exterior material.

    "Yurt" is a Turkish word that is still being used for dormitories. Also
    we call our country as our "yurt". These traditional turkish tents are
    still being used on higher altitudes here in our country. In summer we
    climb to higher altitudes for fresh and cool air and also to feed our
    animals. Soo we still do use exactly same tents here. People living
    their whole life in these tents are called "Yörük" people. The word
    comes from "yürümek" verb. Which means "to walk" in Turkish. These
    people (my ancestors used to as well) stay in these tents whole their
    lifes travelling to lands of grass for their animals and trading. You
    can easily come accross with such huge families if you are travelling
    around Toros Mountains region. One important thing is that we prefer
    goat wool rather than sheep. That is because goat wool is better for
    climate controlling. It keeps warmer in winter and cooler in summer and
    much more retardant to fire and water. That is surely a fact.
    Unfortunately it is not easy to find such spinned and woven goat wool
    these days. Like my grandma used to do and i loved to watch. Fabricated
    stuff do not work as well as experienced. You must go up the mountains
    or wait for them come down once in a summer. Any one who is willing to
    reach the sources for real can reach me here. Best regards. | "Yurtta
