Question from Joyce Harman
I am looking at buying a yurt to live in. Most are covered with vinyl which i would not live under if you paid me a lot of money. But i have found one that is acrylic covered canvas, with canvas on the inside. Do you know if acrylic outgasses much?

Debra’s Answer
Acrylic outgasses some, but not as much as polyester.
I’ve been in yurts with canvas covers and never noticed an odor. If the acrylic is on the outside, any outgassing would likely occur to the outdoors.
I would suggest you get a sample of the fabric first and test it for yourself before you buy a yurt, and also go visit yurts with this type of cover. See for yourself what you smell and how your body feels.
