Impressive front. Can you tell me why you did the reinforcement with
wood. We are making an H13 now out of Rmax. I'm questioning its
stability.
Our experience:
We didn't put the yurt up until a few days into the week of Burning Man,
so it's been tested 3-4 days in moderate winds. It seemed pretty solid.
We taped the top to the walls, and the walls to a tarp. Then we tied it
down
with two sets of ratcheting straps ending in stakes in the ground.
(I.e. two
approximate "diagonals" all the way over and down.) Main annoyance
was the sound of the straps and especially the ratchets hitting the yurt
when
the wind blows. You want to make sure you don't have ratchets against
the yurt
if the straps can vibrate - in addition to the noise, there is potential for
damage, but we didn't have any.
