Anyone heard of, have experience with, or an opinion on

Suntime Yurts

out of Seattle?

I haven't heard anything about them. I should add them as a manufacturer though. I like their article about mold, wind, water and snow:

Helpful Hints

I will hopefully get them added tonight!

Hello!

Thanks for your interest in SunTime!! It is about time we came up on the Yurt Forum. It is great timing as we are putting together our 2013 order in the next couple of months. If you haven't yet, please visit the website at www.suntimeyurts.com. If you have any additional questions just shoot me an e-mail and I look forward to being connected with the yurt forum!

This article is a really good indicator of the problems that traditional Mongolian yurts experience in maritime climates.

I've met one person who dealt successfully (but expensively) with the

moisture

problem of a cotton cover by spraying the entire yurt with ScotchGard (or similar product).

We've taken to washing our canvas with mould killer twice a year to keep it whole. Not the most environmentally-friendly option

Sweet news, I am so thankful to find this on this forum! Upon looking into it further, there is one set up on Vashon Island (where I live!)
