Q: Do you make flooring?
A: No like most Yurt/dome companies we do not make flooring , but only suggest ideas mainly for the "do it your selfers"
On the low end of the scale there is just bare earth for farm buildings and greenhouses, then on to tarps or astroturf, then Fast Deck or similar products, then pallets can be scrounged for and improved, then there are SIPS panels- a foam board with plywood on either side, lastly a wooden deck the most pricey.
Please see our Photos and Info page for links to flooring etc.
Q: What types of insulation can be used?
A: Any type really, for the Portable Yurts we have the foil bubble type Reflectix type which behaves differently than regular insulation, and there might be some condensation problems with it, if the wood stove goes out or if a liner is not used.
Then fiberglass insulation 2ft wide is best, this may need to be held in place with a liner of some sort, a parachute or our polyester liners are available.
Sprayed in foam Polyurethane is great, makes the Dome real hard, and means you can paint the outside of Dome forever, but it transfers the spray pattern to the out side of vinyl, so it looks odd-but works good.
Q: What are the "Frame only kits"
A: These are really for the "do it yourselfer" customers make their own Greenhouses or whatever, without any further assistance from us
Although we can offer some advise on anchors etc..
Q: Why do we need to buy different chimney parts.
A: Because the chimney exits the Yurt/dome lower down about 3-4ft from the ground, in sort of a S shape, on a regular wall tent the chimney goes strait up through the roof.
Q: Can the non portable staples be pulled out, and the Dome be moved.
A: No the vinyl would be damaged too much and it is very impractical, our 12ft Portable Yurt is for this purpose.
Q: How does the 12ft Yurt or Greenhouse fit on a 12ft square
A: See diagram at right for the layout, it's nice to have some patio area in front of Yurt as well
Q: How do the automatic roof vents for Greenhouses work.
A: There is a mineral wax inside the cylinder which expands when heated, pushing the vent open and reverses when cooled.
