DIY: Canes / Cañas Yurt Green-house


To build yurt from cañas was never a great idea because of the properties of cañas – it is not durable, is not straight/same, is too fragile and splits easily. However caña is strong and flexible when used mindfully.  The old-fashioned farmer’s way of using a polypropylene pipe, to build a greenhouse, called for a try.
