Greetings all and happy new yr!
My question for the group is, I am planning on making a yurt form the pvc latice you find at home inprovement stores. Anyone know if this has been done before? Thank you for your time and have a great day!

    a friend of mine has made several of them. He's down in Vegas right now though. They work great and are light, but I personally think they look kinda funky. It'll definitely work though.

      Might not be that esthetically pleasing and as well have you read about potentially harmfull off gases, i have personally choseen to avoid using pvc, which many roofs are made out of.....

          the thing is matt almost everything you use is gonna give off something.because chances are it's been treated with something to make it water proof or fire proof or something. even canvus has to be treated. i have been working with pvc pipe glue primers for 30 years hasn't killed me yet.
