Canopy Addition

 Yurt builder Donald Hyatt in the Puna District of Big Island, Hawaii came up with a solution to keep my yurt entry covered and dry.
Although the canopy protected the three-step lanai, I needed help to stop rainwater from dripping over the existing rain cricket and gutters.
This is a picture of the other side.

For my restricted budget, I am very happy with Don's solution. Now my door, frame and lanai shall no longer fear rotting!

Kids in a Yurt

A new playhouse, swing, and climbing wall in a 30-foot yurt; precious!

This is super to have while adults work in another section of yurt. Pictured herein waxing snow skis.

Check out the floor and loft plans, as well as a slide-show tour.

Also, a YouTube video helps planners with kids.

This yurt was constructed 2008 in Eagle River, Alaska on top of a 30-foot square garage. There is a roof over-hang of 2 feet on three sides of the garage to form a deck around the perimeter of the yurt.
