i figured i get a post like this.
Yurt= a circular domed dwelling that is portable and self-supporting; originally used by nomadic Mongol and Turkic people of central Asia but now used as inexpensive alternative or temporary housing

or something like this

So it's basically a giant tent? I see...

Kinda stupid imo, but whatever floats your boat so uh, good luck?

I've built a few.

Keeping costs down and making the hub are the toughest parts.

Nicest damn tent in the world, All sorts of thunderstorms can't take them down.
