Let’s start with a little history lesson: in 1978, we became the first company to produce the modern yurt. We haven’t stopped listening to feedback and modernizing yurts ever since. In the 1980s, we added dome skylights, water catchment systems, and NASA-quality insulation. In the 1990s, we developed French doors, yurt perimeter gutters, and ceiling fan supports. All of this innovation was based entirely on the needs of our customers and to make yurts a comfortable solution for outdoor lovers.  

Since then, we have continued to add products to make our customers lives not only easier, but better when they’re enjoying their yurts. That includes screen doors, window awning frames, and our original glass window system.  

This year, we have two new products that will continue to revolutionize how our customers use and enjoy their yurts. Ready to learn all about them?  

Introducing Porch Cover Kits 

Our new deluxe Porch Cover Kits have been a much-requested item from many customers over the years. Not only does a porch cover addition to your yurt look fantastic, it gives you more outdoor space in inclement weather: you’ll have space to shake off your raincoat or stomp your snow boots without carrying that moisture inside your yurt.  

You’ll also have that extra space in the spring and summer months to relax outdoors. Just imagine drinking your favorite beverage and enjoying your favorite adventure spot in the shade.  

The benefits don’t stop there; having a covered porch also provides added protection to your door, so that it will require less maintenance due to snow and rain over time.  

These porch cover kits are a fantastic addition to any yurt, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer them. Ready to learn more? Send us a note here.  

Introducing XL Glass Windows 

Our new XL glass window systems feature windows that are 60×48 inches compared to our standard size windows. These larger windows have tons of benefits: you can see more of the beautiful landscape outside of your yurt and experience increased ventilation and air flow on warm days.  

These larger windows also have the safety benefit of added emergency egress. We know many of our customers have asked for something like this—or they opt for a second door. However, these larger windows can act as emergency egress, making them ideal if you don’t want a second door in your yurt. It’s always important to plan for safety in any building and our yurts are no different.
