Brand new 17′ Yurta with winter package & octopad kit

Description

Brand new 17′ Yurta with real 1″ thick 100% wool insulation, woodstove chimney pass through kit, and adjustable metal octopad deck pad kit. (lumber not included) Priced at 20% off the price of a new unit, available in British Columbia, Canada.

We have decided to spend the rest of our days filming horse rides through the best of BC and beyond, so no longer have plans for this yurta.

The following descriptions and pictures come from the Yurta.ca site. I have the original invoice and pricing for the full unit, which is still in the original shipping crates and has never even been opened.

Why Yurta is best for the snowload and cold winter temps experienced in climates like the interior of BC: (From the Yurta.ca Website)

“The 17’ Yurta is the essence of minimal footprint and the best expression of what a yurt is meant to be. The frame is fully assembled in our shop and sets up like an umbrella with a single cable and two pins. Two people deploy the Yurta structure by joining the ring, the frame and the door without turning a screw or hammering a nail in about 15 minutes. The remaining installation of felt and covers takes an additional 2-3 hours.

The 17’ frame is “bottomed-out” : It’s as light as we can make a structure that can still withstand snow and wind load extremes. Unique in North America today, Yurta is a structural circle – the cone-shaped roof is hard-connected to the lattice wall, which acts as a spring. The hardwood frame’s geometry is uniform and it becomes monolithic during setup. This allows the structure to share load exceptionally with an extremely minimal footprint. This is the genius of the traditional design.

Minimal but strong, Yurta has survived hurricanes and Arctic extremes! It is still designed to be packed up and moved as needs change. With some forethought, the 17’ Yurta can be fully installed with round floor and deck in less than a day, and moved anytime without ever rebuilding a thing or disturbing the soil. Keeping it light makes this possible.”

This Yurta comes with the following: (From Yurta.ca website)

“Octopad deck kit
The Octopad is a floating deck kit with necessary hardware and plans. Users add the lumber to make a free-standing, portable and self-leveling deck that is designed to sit directly on the soil. It requires no poured foundations and minimal site preparation. Once eight triangular modules are built, they can be installed or dismantled in about 2 hours with a proprietary bracket mount and screw jacks. Each module is individually leveled on uneven terrain while it is installed. There is no effort of leveling a deck frame first. Later, if soil should heave or give in any location, one or more of the Octopad’s screw jacks can be adjusted up or down to return to a level surface in minutes.

Placing a Yurta or platform directly on the surface this way allows the ground to recover quickly and leave virtually no trace. This makes the Octopad particularly valuable for setups that will be moved again after setup.

Real Wool Insulation
Our insulation is exclusive to Yurta, and needled to our specifications. 100% wool felt with a reflective layer. For winter nights when the temperature drops to -30˚C. Read more about the benefits of our unique wool felt below.

Chimney Outlet
A rigid galvanized cone provides lateral support to a chimney stack through the roof.

Hardwood frame
White ash is hand machined and oiled to a strength and beauty you won’t find elsewhere. Our structure is dramatically reduced because of our choice of materials and design. The elegant frame sacrifices no strength, and is a piece of furniture you can own for a lifetime.

Solid cedar door
Made of knot-free, furniture grade red and white cedar. It’s hand oiled and equipped with a stainless steel locket. Our doors are so beautiful they’ll make your house doors jealous.

Operable dome
4’ in diameter, framed in a perfect circle and completely unobstructed. Our large operable dome efficiently vents the yurt and gives light, connecting you to the sky above.

Huge windows
Our windows are multi-function and all season. Nearly 4’x4’, they provide a beautiful view of your surroundings. Zippers on our windows are guaranteed for life. Every yurt has at least three.

Breathable, maintainable outer covers

(yes, they are that important….)

Yurta covers are hand-sewn to exceedingly tight tolerances. The finished shell is weatherproof and paintable as it ages. It’s also breathable so moisture always has an opportunity to dry out.

Roof and wall have a sewn-in rope that allows simple and effective way to seal the yurt and create a microclimate.

The only place for vinyl is on your turntable. When it comes to fabric shelters like yurts, vinyl is problematic for two reasons. First, out of concern for its know toxicity in its manufacture,
