The document describes instructions for building a cheap and portable PVC yurt. It can be constructed for around $200 using PVC pipes cut to form an octagonal frame covered with a parachute. At 12 feet in diameter, the lightweight yurt packs into a snowboard bag for transportation and offers plenty of headroom and space for hanging lights. The author promises to post detailed plans soon and encourages customizing the yurt by painting the PVC parts.

2. Intro: PVC Yurt
Here's a cheap, easy, and fun solution to your camping shade structure needs! The whole thing will cost you around 200 dollars and an afternoon's worth of pvc cutting.
The result? a 12ft diameter, octagonal yurt that fits into a snowboard bag for easy transportation. I used a parachute ($60 included in the total cost) to cover it which
works great as far as size however it is not very breathable so rolling up the sides helps during the day.
Now the fun! because it's so cheap to make, spend a little time on paint (helps with keeping the various parts organized). Also, the roof is almost 10ft in the middle
leaving plenty of room for hanging lights.
Detailed plans coming soon!
