Thanks for the answer on that. I'm stuck on how you get the bend in the roof rib. 1:40 is what I'm talking about. I want to make on of these so bad.

@travisatwork01 - get the downloadable sheet from the centre for alternative technology website on yurt making.

@travisatwork01 steam box and a form. Not too much to it . Steam the wood until it is soft and very flexible then bend that end over something like a 50 gal drum or something with about the right diameter and let it cool.

How does the roof attach to the wall?

[alanthetent]

Each roof rib is simply tied to the trellis . There is a single cord attached to the end of each rib, which wraps around the top of the trellis (wall) and ties off with a clove hitch. Easy to do, easy to remove and very strong. The band around the top of the wall prevents the roof pushing the wall out.
