I bought this yurt used for less than the cost if I were to buy all the materials at the big box hardware store. It was listen on eBay, strange place to try to sell a yurt so I was the only person to bid on the auction. I had to take it apart and rebuild it as well as replace a lot of missing/broken boards. This one is 20ft, I feel like it could be build diy style, even if you purchased the skin, for a very reasonable price for the square footage. If you pay someone for a kit or to build it for you, definitely expensive.

Interesting. But you're right, smaller one shouldn't be so difficult and expensive to create.π€ My poison is thinking all the time in big numbers, like a house instead of a tiny cottage, then the costs undercut my imagination and will completely.
