Hi Cr, Check out MOTHER EARTH NEWS for yurts. There are back issues with different yurts DIY'd over the last 10 years that range from $750 to $3000. These are not tents, but 400 sf platform constructed structures that use varied siding and roofing from canvas to high-tech polyvinyl laminate(fire retardant) coverings. There are lean-to and small shed design plans that list various materials such as straw bale home construction.
