All of our Yurts and Domes are built with 2x4 oiled fir struts, and heavy duty 18oz vinyl (rated at 15+ yrs), and 1/4 thick galvanized steel hubs.
They can all withstand 18" snow load and 60+ mph wind, the 12ft dia Yurts and Greenhouses have a steep roof angle so most of the snow slides off on its own, or with a little push from inside-down it comes.
They can be put right on the ground, wooden or military type fast decking, with various anchors
available as options.
All kits come with complete easy to follow color coded instructions and drawings.
Vinyl, or Greenhouse panels go on one at a time and are over lapped like shingles, so the whole structure is leakproof. Outer seam should be painted with Rustoleum paint (not included) to protect and seal staple line, (except portable 12ft)
These type Yurts are vastly stronger than the lattice type, and the Geodesic Domes are the strongest building on earth, and also the most energy wise, used in the Arctic circle.
Our Blue Swan earth toilet easily goes into any of our structures, just knock out the wooden plug from any hub then put a 3x4 reducer on each end, and flash and caulk outside.
