Yurta packlages always include:
Hardwood frame

Breathable, maintainable outer covers

Yurta covers are hand-sewn to exceedingly tight tolerances. The finished shell is weatherproof and paintable as it ages. It’s also breathable so moisture always has an opportunity to dry out.

Roof zips to wall. Wall has a sewn-in rope that creates simple seal around the yurt for an effective microclimate. All our zippers are guaranteed for life.

Mounted to the central ring, these anchor points allow you to further secure your yurt in extreme weather.
