Management

Darin Gradin

The challenging and demanding task of running Yurtco's day-to-day operation is managed by Darin, who has 29 years of experience in this industry.

Darin maintains high standards in everything he does, and strongly believes in doing things right the first time. Never, will Darin take a shortcut or go the fastest route if it might degrade the quality of a product, and every yurt that leaves the Yurtco plant reflects his attention to detail and workmanship.

Darin and his partners are proud to offer such an innovative and unique structure to the many situations in which yurts can be enjoyed.

Ray Fielding

Ray has over 35 years experience in the construction industry building and renovating commercial and residential buildings. Ray has always worked with wood - designing and building many different products. Away from Yurtco, Ray enjoys the outdoors and whenever he can Ray heads to his ranch near Princeton, BC. Located beside the Trans-Canada Trail on the old Kettle Valley Rail Line there are plenty of things to do to keep Ray busy. With a yurt on his property, Ray is able to show his guests what yurt living is all about.

Frank Wingelman

Frank has been in the manufacturing business for over 40 years and is one of the founders of Yurtco. His specialty is in the area of custom metal fabrication for the design and manufacturing of equipment used in the forest industry. A decade ago Frank began putting a team together to design and manufacture yurts in Canada. His vision was to build yurts of the highest quality and sell them at an affordable price.

Frank successfully proved his vision. The raw materials and other resources available in British Columbia, Canada allow Yurtco to offer high quality, hand-crafted manufacturing processes and affordable pricing.
