The above talks about our temporary yurts for the uses mentioned, Below, I will tell you about our permanent yurts
Standard size for these yurts is thirty feet in diameter (also available in other diameters). We are now taking the traditional yurt previously available and making many changes.
The “walls” typically were a cylinder made of several varieties of trellis-walled tents.
One of the changes we offer is the campground yurt is made using 2" x 6" cedar walls and our permanent yurt is made using a solid 6” x 6” log cabin eastern white cedar timber.
Windows were typically vinyl (not glass) and held on by using Velcro
Our door and window sections are real windows and doors built to code and arrive at your site pre-built and ready to install. Shown here with our optional curved glass windows.
Forty eighty rafters support the roof. They join all together at the top on a circular wooden opening with clear or smoked acrylic bubble. The bubble can be opened to allow the air to come into the house. 
You will notice, our yurt is perfect for the Canadian climate (fresh during summer time, hot in winter, very resistant to the strong wind & heavy snows) and looks beautiful year round.
The cedar logs that make the walls are 6” x 6” and feature a DOUBLE tongue and groove with Emseal gasket and Dymonic caulking between every log.
We have replaced the thin vinyl roof covering with insulated roof panels. The rigid insulation is the same that cooler and freezer panels are made of. The outside is 20 guage metal that is weatherproof. The panels simply drop in place between each rafter. There is an expansion rubber between each panel with a weatherproof cap. There is no need for any further roofing material to cover this panel.
The good news is that the inside of each roof panel (that is your ceiling) is also metal and is prefinished in a variety of colours. This eliminates the need to strap your ceiling and install drywall. We install a special connector to each rafter making a seal to the panels on each side.
Manufactured by Barrel Enterprises, a proud New Brunswick value added wood products company.

It
will hold the roof ring in place until you install the rafters. Secure
the rafters into the metal hangers on the ring 1 at a time but do not tighten yet.
If you purchased a kit from us all the
rafters (where they meet the wall) will be notched. This is called a "bird's mouth".
The
notch on each rafter will sit flat on the top of the wall. Secure this
into place by using the long 8" rafter screws provided.
You may also use metal hangers, L brackets
One
at a time, install each rafter Continue around the
circle until all the rafters are up. Do not screw each rafter to the top of the
walls yet.
Domed Skylight
The domed skylight is ¼” thick pure acrylic. Testing indicates that pure acrylic outlasts other clear polymers, when exposed to the elements for five years or more. The dome, including its flange and down-turned edge, measures five-feet across and is 16-inches tall. It fastens in six places to the compression ring with stainless steel expansion springs and four straps for a weather-tight fit.
Options
Tinted Bronze Domes
- significantly reduce heat gain
Easy-Dome Lifter
- in warm climates, ventilation is the key to keeping your yurt cool.
With the addition of the Euro-Dome Lifter, you can easily raise the
leeward side of your dome to allow heat to escape. With a little breeze,
an open dome creates a chimney effect for enhanced ventilation. Although
any domed skylight can open, the Euro-Dome Lifter lets you raise and
lower the dome from floor level using a handheld winding brace.
Roof Sheeting for temporary yurts
We supply you with a premier roof fabric made of industrial
duty materials, & thermally welded seams for consistent watertight
integrity. The valance, a foot-wide band attached to the bottom edge of
the roof, covers the roof to wall space for a watertight seal. Should you NOT want our mildew proof vinyl coated polyester, you are ready to sheet the roof in and apply your own roofing materials.
Our standard roof material is an 18.5 oz
vinyl coated polyester. This material also features a clear acrylic
exterior coating to keep the material clean and add an extra layer of
protection against ultra-violet rays and other harmful elements.
Available in gray, white and tan.
Roofing for Permanent yurts
After years of R & D (Research and development) we now offer a solid weatherproof insulated panel that slides between the rafters. The metal (outside) extends on each side allowing the panel to sit on top of the rafters. Between each panel we use a neropreme rubber expansion joint and metal cap to render the entire roof completely weather tight. These (metal 2 sides) roof panels have a baked on finish both sides. This eliminates having to strap, insulate and gyproc the inside ceiling.
Inside
Our permanent yurt homes or CIRCLE HOUSES as we like to refer to them as, all come with 3 interior walls that nake up 2 rooms (bedrooms), one bathroom (complete with tub, shower, hot water heater, sink and toilet). On the other side of the bathroom wall is a kitchen with stove and oven, sink, fridge and kitchen cabinets. Additional info and images on our permanent yurts may be found here.
OPTIONAL loft area above the bedrooms and bathroom will provide a ceiling for these rooms and a 300sq ft bedroom or play area for the kids. Each loft will have a set of stairs and a railing.
Contact us with your questions or to order your campground yurt or your custom made cedar Circle House.
On your campground yurt you can have a clear vinyl section sewn into the roof material for additional light
