Chimney venting and other options
Chimney venting and other options
We offer a galvanized chimney cone as a pass-through for a stove pipe. It is meant to be fitted to the roof, and does not provide structural support to the stove pipe. Holes are not pre-cut – they are cut onsite to match the clearance requirements of each individual appliance.
Additional doors are possible, please contact us for more information.
Foundation & Platform
Elevated deck or ground-level options
Elevated deck or ground-level options
One of the chief advantages a yurt offers is minimal footprint.
A deck is a practical addition to your yurt project because it provides a level surface from which to fully access your shelter for maximum use and care. Any deck is suitable, as long as it is at least about one foot bigger than the yurt you install.
Plans to build a structural round floor are included with every yurt. Building it this way combines deck and floor in one.
INSULFLOOR
We offer an optional slotted, insulated floor made of custom SIP panels. Nineteen insulated panels use a tongue and groove system to slot together. Made of birch plywood, they are unfinished for use as subfloor though its minimal grain makes it ideal for staining when used as a finished surface. This floor is not structural and requires a level deck for support.
The Octopad is a floating deck kit with necessary hardware and plans. Users add the lumber to make a free-standing, portable and self-leveling deck that is designed to sit directly on the soil. It requires no poured foundations and minimal site preparation. Eight triangular modules are built and installed or dismantled in about 2 hours with the included proprietary bracket mount and screw jacks. Each module is individually leveled on uneven terrain while it is installed requiring no effort to level a deck frame first. Later, if soil should heave or give in any location, one or more of the Octopad’s screw jacks can be adjusted up or down to return to a level surface in minutes.
Placing a Yurta or platform directly on the surface this way allows the ground to recover quickly and leave virtually no trace. This makes the Octopad particularly valuable for setups that will be moved again after setup.
