Vinay suggests above that a yurt should have two doors for fire safety. To me a door suggests a fairly complex assembly designed to be opened repeatedly and easily closed from either side. I was wondering about creating a simple "fire escape" instead - just a large circular cut in the wall opposite the door, mitered so it can be pushed outwards, and taped in place from the inside using a single piece of tape with exposed tabs. It might make sense to tape it partway but not all the way on the other side, so it can still be pushed out by hand but holds in place a little better. Would that meet the safety requirement? Would it let in dust, or harm the integrity of the yurt?
Planning on building my first yurt - a Camp Danger-style H12 - as soon as the tape arrives. I've done lots of Googling and I have lots of questions, but I'll break them into separate emails for ease of threading. If you prefer that this group be reserved for more experienced voices, just say and I'll direct my questions elsewhere - thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
