Yurt BasicsStructure & WeatherLiving in a YurtOptions & UpgradesSetup & InstallationPricing Ordering & ShippingCare & Maintenance
can you buy components separately?
Yes — all yurt components can be purchased individually for replacements or upgrades. For older yurts, natural settling and material changes over time can affect how new parts fit. If you're unsure, we can help guide you to ensure the best fit for your structure.
What upgrades are available?
We offer variety of upgrades including, insulation, windows, upgraded doors, awnings, and more to tailor your yurt to your needs.
Can you add windows to your yurt?
Yes, windows can be added to bring in more natural light and airflow, and open up the feel of your space.
We offer a couple of different window options depending on what you're looking for:
Yurt Windows - are built right into the wall cover. They're flexible, lightweight, and can be rolled up or opened for ventilation. These are a great option if you want something simple that keeps the soft, traditional feel of a yurt.
Glass windows - are framed into the structure, similar to what you'd see in a home. They offer a more solid, permanent look with clear views and added insulation. These are a good fit if you're planning for longer term living or want a more finished feel.
You can choose the number, placement, and style of windows to suit your space - whether you're looking for more light, better airflow, or a specific layout.
What door options do you offer?
Our yurts come with a standard insulated steel door, designed to be durable, secure, and ready for year-round use.
From there, you can customize depending on the look and feel you're going for:

Upgraded Sizes and additional doors

You can also pair your doors with awnings to create a more sheltered and welcoming entrance.
Can I customize colours and finishes?
Yes, You can choose from a range of vinyl colours and stain colours to match your style and environment.
How does pricing work for upgrades?
Upgrades are prices individually, allowing you to customize your yurt based on your needs and budget.
Can yurts be connected together?
Yurts can be connected to one another or to existing buildings for added space and flexibility — a setup often referred to as podding. Connections can be made using a walkway, breezeway, or enclosed hallway, and can even be zippered together, allowing the yurts to be separated later if needed.
Many owners choose to create a dedicated bathroom yurt for a toilet, shower, or other amenities, linking it seamlessly to the main living space through one of these pod-style connections.
Do you sell platforms?
Most customers build their platform on-site due to aviod additional costs related to shipping and materials. If you're planning to build your own, we're happy to guide you on what will work best for your needs.
We do offer a platform kit depending on your project. These kits are designed to work with your yurt size. If you're interested in a kit, contact us for a quote and to go over the platform options available.
Can the platform be bigger than the yurt?
The yurt itself must sit on a platform that matches the exact circumference of the yurt size, as the structure is attached directly to the platform.
However, the platform can be built into a larger deck. Many customers choose to extend beyond the yurt's footprint to create additional outdoor space around it.
