    Excellent video my friend. I am looking forward to the next one and hope you get to post it soon. Most production yurts I have been researching seem to be very overpriced. There is a need for your shared knowledge and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing it.

    What size it that drill bit? I know it's not critical, but including an "about this size" in the video would be good.

    • @FoxfireHeritageFarm
      @FoxfireHeritageFarm  5 лет назад

      I am working on a companion webpage to go along with the videos detailing material and tool list, and it should be listed in the description, I am planning on getting that all updated this month! Thanks for the suggestion, the drill bit should be the same DIA as the rope you're using

    How do you do the floor modularly? Also are you going to do a roof slat video too?

    • @FoxfireHeritageFarm
      @FoxfireHeritageFarm  4 года назад

      Floor is built in place you can build modular if you plan on moving it but in that case I usually just set up on the ground. Roof slat video incoming, however I lost all my original footage so need to refilm :(

    I doubt you're still checking comments unless you've got your notifications on, but if you are, how much do you think it'd cost to totally by myself build a 30ft yurt? I've been looking around at different no rent housing options so i can save money, and it really seems like the best option for me right now. 😊

    Question. At first you said 6'6"...then you said 7'6".
    Which length produces a 6' sidewall? Thanks!

    • @FoxfireHeritageFarm
      @FoxfireHeritageFarm  5 лет назад +8

      Hey Kerri! The slats are cut to 7'6" true length, then when they are tied and the wall is set up (on an angle) they make a 6' sidewall :)

  • @kerricorser4562
    @kerricorser4562 5 лет назад +2

    Question 3. How does one find how big to make the circumference of the toono (crown) for each size? Does the crown size vary and increase with each bigger size of yurt?
    For example: would a 26 ft yurt have a larger toono circumference???
    Or is it just aesthetics and the crown can be any size? Thanks.

    • @FoxfireHeritageFarm
      @FoxfireHeritageFarm  5 лет назад +5

      so when I do my Yurt design I factor a few things into account when considering Toono size, on smaller sized yurts I find 3 foot dia works fine, when you get to large the pole size shrinks and you run into problems, on larger yurts you are really only limited by weight and purpose, I have found that 4 foot dia on 18' and larger yurts work well and are still manageable to set up, I am still working on my design for a 30 foot dia Yurt, and will be considering a 5 foot dia crown.
      The larger the crown size also effects the pitch of the roof so if you are looking for a steeper pitch (more snow load) you can increase the dia.

    What is the approximate cost to build a yurt?

    • @FoxfireHeritageFarm
      @FoxfireHeritageFarm  4 года назад +1

      depends on so many factors.... materials, style purpose, you can build one for almost free if you have load of time and no money, or have one that costs loads of money and takes a relatively short time to build. anywhere from $200 to $3000 ish

      @@FoxfireHeritageFarm I look forward to that series! What an awesome idea. Thank you, I greatly appreciate it. The tarp idea is one I was contemplating because of the cost. The silver tarps tend to last longer than the blue or other colors. I have used them outside continuously for extended periods and the silver, for whatever reason, always last longer. Just food for thought when it comes to choosing a tarp.
