Has anyone already embarked on the adventure?

Experiences?

I find it frankly nice as a type of dwelling

Thank you

Hi Gab,

I was interested in imported yurts. Those where we are
well in real felt and a small stove. But I think that
many are the negatives:
> transport,
> imported wood (which is rare there)
> felt which is not suitable for our too humid climate
So looking for temporary accommodation, I oriented myself
to alternatives like huts to live, yurts
modern, etc ... at low cost.
I finally opted for the recycling of two caravans.
They are opposite and I will close in between with a
structure wood / straw, a roof and a stove for the winter.
Questionable choice. Good looking.

Ok thanks for the information

the imports did not really interest me because not really adapted to our humid climate and also for the history of the wood.

I would have been tempted by French builders not chauvinism but because the materials would have been adapted ..

no info right and left

but no one who has really taken the course

in short, an idea like any other ..

Hello,
friends have a right next door, I go often it's really nice, the floor is parquet, insulated with cork panels, a wood stove was replaced by a wood stove, nice!
There is a 12V battery with 12v lamps, a computer switched socket cigar lighter 12v, we will also make the stereo.
I finish the generator of a wind turbine to recharge the battery (stationary).

think about using bamboo, it's incredibly resistant and it grows by itself ;-)

Jonule, a question your pals who are in a yurt are on a ground how? constructible or not and could you provide us with information?

for example, if they built it themselves with what materials, disadvantages and advantages, since they are there?

I thank you in advance ...

cordially all

and for the bamboo I have a doubt anyway, but I ask case to be convinced and if it is true it must be cheaper?

finally all the information we are takers, because we really want and quickly create our yurt, but linking ecology, economy especially and solidity ..


thank you to all those who can provide us with information ..

it's pretty urgent and important ..

cordially

Hello !
they are on land purchased for organic market gardening, sloping (they have not thought to put the floor applat, pity), acehtée on order to a French box that does that, + 5000 € of memory, not counting the floor in panels of lière + finish parquet, nor the stove wood recovered ...

I think cheaper in Mongolia? .......

the bamboo is not better, not + strong and imputrccible, there are bamboo everywhere, if 4 years you have yours!
the Indians use it for scaffolding, you can bend it as you want by heating it.

Well, I tell you a house in pailel would be better!
in any case for insulation! because the felt, without heating inside, it is as cold as outside!


the guy from the yurt will propose it for hire / weekend and make a straw teepee / wood structure mezzanine, not bad!

if you want I pass you the phone by MP but you have to inform YOU ;-)
