The YoA Yurt

How a Yurt Works

There are several differences and structural advantages to yurts
manufactured by Yurts of America:

• Tall walls are standard (approximately 7’) in all YoA yurts.
• Our rafters are inserted with heavy-duty steel pegs to provide a much stronger joint with the roof ring for a tighter, more stable fit.
• All visible surfaces are fine-cut and bull-nosed, and all roof-rings are rounded on the inside for a more aesthetic finish.
• Lattice walls are made with furniture grade finish cut poplar (99% knot-free) and rounded on all surfaces. Before milling, the wood is 11⁄2” x 3⁄4” which makes the wall 11⁄2” x 11⁄2” at rivet point. Thicker walls mean longer life and heavier stress load.
• Sleeved aluminum wall rivets are used (with no holes on interior side) for a cleaner, more professional interior look.
• The YoA base yurt’s standard cover is an 19 oz heavy duty, tri-layer, re-inforced fabric. It’s UV, fire, and mildew resistant with a 10-year warrantee, and meets or exceeds California fire codes.
  Note: This is industrial fabric not awning grade.
• YoA yurts are constructed with a full sub doorframe and come with a 3⁄4 glass door standard. A keyed deadbolt and doorknob are also standard.
