Tents Won't Last. Plywood Yurts Will

From Kleiman:


For perhaps 2-3 times the cost of a tent which will not last the rainy season  (and is barely helpful now) Hatian families can be sheltered in durable yurts that will last 2-3 years.

Units take a team of three people around an hour to assemble. They are assembled using a 6" wide, 600+lb bidirectional filament tape, and anchored to the ground like tents. No heavy lifting, ladders or scaffolding are required.


Any wood shop or packaging factory can be taught to manufacture units in an afternoon. In emergencies, basic units can be manufactured on site with hand tools in half an hour each (only six cuts are required for each unit.)
