Hi yurt people, FYI, IMHO you do NOT need a skylight if you use bi-filament tape. Here is a photo from the inside of our yurt during the day. The taped seams let in plenty of light without punching another hole in the roof for a skylight. We had considered doing this also, but are glad we didn't, because there is no need for one.
