Dear Terry, I know that you know that you can buy YURTS from several
manufacturers, but here is a link to a very good friend of mine, Peter Belt,
who manufactures what he calls "yomes" (which are constructed very
differently); just in case he is not one of the manufacturers that you know
about...

Over the years, I have helped him engineer and manufacture some of his
assembly components in my BLACKSMITH SHOP (mandatory blacksmithing content),
back when I had one. We own and use two of his structures, and they are very
easy to set up indeed, and also very durable and affordable. One we have had
for 8 years or so, and my son has just moved it from our yard to a new
location as his first "home away from home".

If you have not already spoken to Peter, perhaps it is worth an e-mail, as
he is a very nice, helpful person who might be willing to share ideas with
you. Just a suggestion.
