A Custom Concentric Yurt. Bill led the workshop to build this yurt in 2011.

Custom Concentric Yurt raised in 2015.

Dickinsons Reach Yurts was not involved in this build, but it is a fantastic yurt cluster.  Possibly the most complicated way to make a yurt.  More info here.  

A 20' Taper-Wall Pole Yurt.  This one uses Spruce in the roof and Maple for the walls.  Probably the least expensive way to make a yurt frame.  ​

Little Yurt from 1974

 A beautiful Sapling framed Lattice-wall Yurt.  I helped raise this yurt which was made by Two-Girls Farm & Yurts.  If you're looking to purchase a nomadic yurt kit, they have a great system.  Learn more about Nomadic Yurts here.
