Hi again.
Others have considered this same issue, including myself (i considered purchasing a yurt at one point) and I would suggest a slight overhang from the lanai roof but only enough to cover the doorway/entrance to your yurt sufficiently. I think that while your ideas all have merit you are going to be unhappy with how much additinal expense these 'improvements' will make. I dont want you to abandon your 'dream', but when I think of a yurt two words come to mind: A. Temporary & B. Cheap
If you end up spending a gazzilion dollars on the improvements to your basic yurt to make it more comfortable/house-like at what point do you spend more than you'd spend on a normal home over a nice but over-glorified tent.
Aloha
P.S. I'm an amateur and would highly recommend you contact:
