Thanks Rainyjim.
I do want to keep the costs down, yes.
One clarification on the 'pyramid roof' I'd like to make; let's forget the word pyramid for now and just say 'roof'.
The purpose of the roof would be to protect the lanai from weather, which will extend around the perimeter of the yurt, especially the front door. Now, 2 options come to mind:
1. a separate structure which would just be over the lanai.
2. a whole structure which would extend over the yurt roof and lanai, thus providing the yurt with extra protection, & keeping it cooler.
If you can visualise this. in option 1 there would be a roof extending over everything as a single piece, and option 2 would be a kind of 'O' which would only cover the lanai BUT not the yurt.
what do you think ?
Aloha Aloha
