Shelter Designs’ Basic insulation package will help keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The insulation material helps keep radiant heat inside the yurt, and is very effective while your heat source is going. Our wall insulation comes in a panelized form with the insulation sewn directly to the liner material to maximize adjustability for window openings. Our roof insulation and liner are separate pieces.
Included in the price of a SIPS floor is the 3/4” plywood perimeter wrap; unpainted bender board ripped to the correct width; OSB connecting splines; long timber screws to secure the panels to the beams; mastic for all foam to wood connections. Not included are the 2×6 splines and the nails or screws to connect panels together or the perimeter wrap and bender board materials.

This single hung window comes attractively set in its own frame and is easily and efficiently installed. Our energy star glass windows come completely trimmed and cased. All sizes are the same price, $1,450. There is an additional $200 crating fee when glass windows are ordered.
All Shelter Designs’ yurts come standard with removable, flexible 48″ x 48″ vinyl windows. A removable fine mesh screen is included with every vinyl window to keep out the smallest of insects. The number of windows depends on the size of yurt:

Shelter Designs uses high-quality solid fiberglass exterior doors for your yurt, not plywood and plexiglass! The base price of your yurt includes a fiberglass door with a half-light thermal pane window. We offer optional opening windows in our full and half-light steel doors.
If you desire multiple entrances we can add another door. A 48″ wide french door is one of our more popular options. We also offer a full light screen door for our standard 36″ entryway and a screen curtain for the french door.
Every Shelter Designs yurt wall comes with grommets spaced every foot around the bottom of the exterior wall to securely anchor the fabric to the floor frame. Take the next step to fully seal the bottom of your wall and keep out stray drafts and those creepy crawlies! This SD exclusive feature connects the wall to the floor frame with 2″ hook and loop around the entire bottom perimeter, providing the ultimate seal from the elements.
Spruce up the look of your yurt while adding extra protection from splashing water and snow accumulation! We make the bottom 18” of your wall with 15-year DuroLast fabric, adding an attractive look and practical protection from the elements.
The snow and wind kit consist of upright supports under each roof rafter, and a cable blocking system in the rafters. The upright supports are attached to the rafters, lattice and floor. These structural components increases the yurt’s ability to withstand extreme load conditions.
