I roughly trimmed mine to 6-9" and use wide painters tape to stick it to the outside of the yurt. Taping to the outside seems to add tension, pulling the walls together, and it keeps the dust and rare rainfall out too. Does it make a huge amount of difference whether it's inside or outside? Marginally? Maybe? *shrug*
That said, to save you effort, cutting nice straight edges in the tarp will make the tape job easier. If you're concerned about fraying or want to win the Tarp of the Year prize, make your cut against a 2x4 or straight edge, then move the 2x4 over, and run a heat gun down the edge. The tarp will melt right up against the 2x4 leaving you a perfectly straight line that won't fray. -Joshua On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 1:37 AM, Dustin Graham <dgra...@pobox.com> wrote: > It's my understanding that the tarp would be taped onto the INSIDE of the > yurt, therefore be out of the weather.
