My two cents: for my first yurt I spent a fair amount of time fabricating
something from furnace filters and sheet metal on top of a Home Depot unit. For
my second yurt I just grabbed something off the shelf at Home Depot. Anything
that has a hole and will keep the rain out seems to do a good job if you've
already got cross ventilation. Especially if you have a swamp cooler, a roof
vent doesn't make a lot of difference in my experience.

lot at the time.
