FAQ’s.

What is a yurt?

By today’s standards a “commercial” yurt is designated as a “semi-permanent” round structure. This is a fancy way of saying it’s can be built or removed in less than a day with simple tools. Modern “commercial design” yurts can be installed and stay up for years. Commercial yurts come in many sizes from 12’ up to 32’.

From history; A yurt or ger is a portable living structure originally developed by the nomadic groups of the Central Asian steppes. They used a lattice wall, circular design and radial rafters to maximize structural strength. The original yurts were designed to be easily portable as they drove horse and goat herds across the Asia plains. Strong and light, these magnificent structures could be set up in a day or so and easily packed up to move.

How strong are your yurts?

Yurts of America makes some of the strongest yurts on the market. Where Yurts of America “standards” specs start, are upgrades for many other companies. Using the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship, our yurts are designed to be the strongest “wood framed” yurts on the market.

Due to the basic architectural principles, though we have used modern building materials, the structural design has changed very little in over 1500 years. It’s easy to say our yurts can handle a lot.

Will my yurt really stay up year-round?

Absolutely! Our yurts have a highly stable construction that allows them to remain in place for years on end. Our standard covers come with a 10-year warranty, and our upgraded commercial roofing covers are warrantied for 15 years. Our yurts can handle most weather in most areas, and our optional wind and snow kit will help your yurt endure very hardy weather in rough territory.

How long will my yurt last?

A properly installed and maintained yurt will last as long as a house. Just like any structure, proper maintenance is the key. Relatively little maintenance is required.

What are yurts used for?

You can use a yurt for virtually any purpose you can imagine! Our yurts currently serve as bed & breakfasts, bed & breakfasts, permanent homes, temporary homes while building permanent homes, lake homes, rentals at campgrounds, workshops, and, of course, campground cabins. (A fraternity at an un-named Midwest university purchased one for an outside smoking lounge.)

What tools do I need to set up my yurt?

No special tools are typically needed to set up a yurt. Yurts of America design is such, that few tools are needed, in most cases simple hand tools, as listed. A full list is sent to you before you receive your yurt. This list is ONLY for what is needed to setup our yurt. It does not include anything needed to build the platform your yurt sits on.

Note, depending on size of yurt and options, some tools might need to be rented if you don’t have them.

Some of the tools are:

Battery-operated drills with extra batteries
Tape measure
At least two ladders
Utility knife (with sharp blade)
Staple gun.
Something to hold the compression ring off the ground.

This is not a complete list of tools, but you can see how simple the project is going to be.

How many people does it take to set up my yurt?

Smaller yurts require a minimum of two people, and the 24’ and 30’ require four to five people for safety. More are helpful particularly on the larger yurts. At some stages of the yurt build, more is better, but too many can become a safety problem.

How long will it take me to set up my yurt?

Depending on options, smaller yurts can be set up in a day. Larger yurts should have a day budgeted for the frame, and a day budgeted for the cover. A 30’ foot yurt with all of the options will take three days.

Do you use canvas as covers in your yurts?

No. Untreated canvas doesn’t stand up to the sun’s UV rays, and even treated canvas must be retreated with fire retardants and UV inhibitors to have a chance of long-term survival outside. Our vinyl sides have a 10-year warranty and Duro-last tops have a 15-year warranty.

Is the platform included?

We provide the yurt – you provide the platform. Yurts of America does have site plans available for building your platform and installing your yurt.

Can I heat my yurt? Will utilities run into it?

Yes. A licensed professional can help you install water, electric, sewer and/or gas through the platform. Combustion air and flue gas enter and exit through the wall. The optional stove kit is necessary for these uses.

How many people can I get in my yurt?

It depends on what they are doing and how long they will be staying. A 20’ yurt will easily house four bunk beds and lockers for a summer campground. A 30’ yurt with a sleeping loft can have nine hundred square feet of space – enough room for two people to permanently live in relative comfort.
