Yurts look complicated, are they easy to set up?
Yurts are very simple to set up, one person can do it them self pretty easily. As you get better you should be able to put one up in 30-45 mins. The key is to make a circle on the ground first to put the wall on. With the wall in a perfect circle, you shouldn't have any problems.
Can you live in your yurts?
My Yurts are not really designed for year round living. Make themto be lightweight and portable. Also if you live in a wet climate, the canvas will mildew and leak. That said you could waterproof the canvas or better add a waterp[roff layer and in winter add an insulating layer.
Can you really load one on the top of a car?
Yes it's surprising how small a yurt will pack down. The wall breaks down into two sections which concertina together; these measure 75 "x 26 " . Everything else just comes apart. The Roof Wheel and canvas I normally put inside the car, but they too can go on the roof easily.
Do you offer discounts on quantity?
Yes, I can give 10% off. Please contact me if you want to order several.
How many people can sleep in a yurt
That really depends on how much room you need. I use a 16ft yurt when I go camping, That is easily enough for a queen bed and 3 full size cots for the kids, plus all our gear - and there is plenty of room left over.
Is it safe to have a stove in a yurt?
You must always be very careful when you have a fire or wood stove in a yurt or tent. You must make sure you keep the stove away from the side wall and route the stove pipe out through the middle of roof wheel. A spark arrester is essential as you don't want embers landing on your canvas. We hope to offer fireproof canvas soon.
Do you rent Yurts?
Not normally, but I am open to suggestions. If you wanted to try one of our yurts, you can come and stay in one for here in Oregon.
What care and mainenance must I do
It reall depends on how much use it gets. The wood roof poles and lattice wall will need to oiled with boiled linseed oil every few years. If you waterproof your canvas, this will need to be re applied every few years. The canvas should be brushed off after every use and if left out in the rain, it will self clean a little.
