Yurts: Incredibly strong, Ingenious Structures

Yurts are one of the strongest and most resource efficient structures ever created. They are circular, domed canvas and wood structures that feature an elegant integration of tension and compression components, allowing the yurt to withstand heavy wind, rain and snow. Acclaimed by Architectural Digest as an "architectural wonder," the yurt is remarkably strong yet lightweight and as versatile as your imagination.

 

Rainier Yurts has built upon this unique design to craft modern yurts of uncompromising quality. Easy to set up, yurts can be wired or plumbed and are designed to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Many people have discovered the versatility of these outdoor living structures and are using them for a variety of purposes across the country.

 

Innovative, portable strength

Rainier Yurts has borrowed the ingenious and beautiful design of traditional yurts, but we have refined the construction details and added many options and features, including an opening skylight, large windows, tall walls, locking doors with insulated glass windows, high-quality, fire-retardant materials, insulation, excellent hardware and fine craftsmanship. Our lattice is the strongest available, and we use an aircraft cable tension band that sits on top of the lattice wall. The roof uses premium structural fabrics; walls are made with premium grade fabrics with superior coatings and warranties. Our cinch-seal offers Kevlar removable jib hanks to securely integrate ceiling, wall and deck for extra protection against the elements. Rainier yurts have superior engineering and exceed the standards of the traditional structures and of the International Building Code.
