Practical Yurts: Building and Living in a Low Cost Alternative Structure Paperback – April 5, 2014

If you're interested in building a yurt I recommend this book! If you're planning on just living off grid this book probably wouldn't benefit as much...but it still has some good info in it. My husband and I are seriously thinking of building a yurt on our property in the Wind River Range Like the author we would want electric, water and sewer. The author gives great tips so your pipes don't freeze and some other great info.

If you're looking for a definitive guide to purchasing and erecting a yurt, you'll probably want to choose another book. But if (like me) you've always been intrigued by the prospect of living in a yurt and just want to "try on" the idea in your head, Hatch is a good place to start. He writes like a good friend sitting and telling you about his yurt experience over coffee. It's a short read and it helped me wrap my head around the kinds of things I'd need to consider when and if I get serious about getting my own yurt. It demystifies the process and makes it seem do-able (though zoning and such varies from place to place). I'm glad I read it.

Was not at all what I expected no information about making a yurt whatsoever about his experience buying and erecting readymade yurt kit

I read this entire book in about an hour. It's okay, but I wish there was more useful info. The author doesn't have a lot of experience with yurts. It is just the story of his first yurt build.

I am building my yurt in the spring and this book gave a lot of great information on what do do and accomplish before starting the build

Lots of generic info but little actually practical info.

For the price, I had expected to receive more information on the nuances of actual yurt construction.If you are looking to build an authentic mobile yurt, I suggest you seek another author.

Excellent book
