The most beautiful
rafters in any yurt in the whole wide world! These
rafters are our most popular option. Yurtco uses Lodgepole
Pine logs, 85mm, sanded and stained with metal connecting
inserts. Add quality and extra strength to any size
yurt whilst adding a magical ambience that can be enjoyed
in every season. Lodgepole rafters will NEVER twist
under snow load and they are approx. 25-30% stronger
than 2' x 4's. Lodgepole stress strength is 6800 lbs
per inch. (These rafters are standard in the 28’model.)

Our standard roof uses a 19 oz. vinyl. Our covers are made from
VinaGARD® made by Vintex, which is a double-coated fabric
made for applications where high strength protection and durability
are required. VinaGARD® is UV stabilized and flame retardant.
For extreme weather conditions we recommend our heavy-duty 22
oz. top cover.

 Heavy
duty, superior quality 100% cotton is
custom sewn to line the inside of
the yurt. This natural fabric absorbs
moisture and dries naturally. It is
mildew resistant, flame retardant
and cream in color. See
close-up....OR
Heavy duty VinaGARD® vinyl liner with
UV protection; Class 1 fire retardant rating; anti-fungus,
anti-mildew protection. Cream color is the same colour
as the cotton liner, which means cotton and vinyl can
be used together, if desired, e.g. cotton liner in
top and vinyl in side walls.

You can choose to add extra windows to your yurt. Two windows
are included in the base price. You can specify the placement
of additional windows to highlight the landscape and views on
your property, or the interior layout of your yurt. All
windows are removable and include insect screens. An insulated
window cover is available to provide extra insulation whenever
needed.
Custom glass windows are available for all models. Standard size
is 3ft x 4 ft. double paned glass, sliding window with insect
screen. There are times when an opening glass window is desirable,
e.g. for ticket sales when the yurt is used as a sales booth,
or simply as an alternative means of ventilation. Window kit
includes wooden frame and two wall studs.
This is constructed of the same rFoil
Insulation that is used for insulating the yurt. (see
below for details).

You can add extra doors to any yurt. Using a clock face, doors
must be placed at quarter hour locations i.e. 6:00, 9:00, 12:00
and 3:00 o'clock.

The standard dome is clear, however a tinted dome is a great
idea for hot, sunny climates. It offers UV and sun protection
and keeps the yurt cooler.

Foil bubble rFoil is
a double layer of polyethylene bubbles bonded to and
sandwiched between two Radiant Barrier aluminum Foil
sheets.
After years of research, it has been
proven that reflective foil products are excellent
insulators. The effect of Radiant Barrier Foil (RBF)
on radiant heat gain and loss is nothing less than
astounding. Although conventional mass insulation products
(fiberglass, loose fill, wood, etc.) are effective
against convection and conduction, they have no effect
on 'radiated' heat transfer. It reduces radiant heat
loss in winter or gain in summer, by as much as 70%.
The insulation is rated by reflection as it reflects
97% of radiant heat rays.
It is a common misconception that insulation
must be thick to perform well. It is also a common
mistake to consider only a material's R-Value when
choosing insulation. It is highly possible for a thinner
reflective material to provide better thermal performance
than a thicker non-reflective product. Not including
gold and silver, pure aluminum is the most reflective
material on the planet. The thin aluminum layer in
rFOIL reflects radiant heat energy; and this ability
is not related to the product's thickness and R-Value.

 This
screen custom fits in the ceiling dome
and prevents insects, falling leaves, etc..
from entering the yurt. The insulation
for the dome is useful whenever it is extremely
hot and you want to keep out the sun and
heat. In either hot or cold conditions,
it is particularly useful when leaving
your yurt locked up for an extended period
of time. |
Our yurts
are rated for heavy snow loads.
However, in regions with extremely
heavy snowfalls, we offer a snow
and wind kit that reinforces
the roof rafters and lattice
wall with vertical side wall
supports. If you are in a very
windy area you might want to
add this kit as it provides cable
tie-downs to the yurt platform
ensuring protection from extreme
wind conditions.
If your yurt has round log rafters, we
will match the Snow and Wind Kit by including side
wall supports of round, stained log pole studs to match
the rafters.

Custom awnings are available for doors and windows, as per your
requirements.
The 8ft. awning available for the french doors,
enables excellent protection from weather when buckled
down.
You might want to install a wood stove in your yurt. Yurtco can
build in a stove chimney opening with an interior and exterior
shield that will allow you to easily install a wood stove. Our
opening fits a 6” chimney pipe.
The rain diverter is
an
inverted V-shaped fabric pouch, which
is welded to the roof above the door, effectively
diverting
rain water away from the entry.
The rain catchment
system consists of a fabric gutter that the
runs around the perimeter of the roof, catching
the
water and funneling it through downspouts.
In dry weather, this gutter sits flat on the
roof.
