Snow Loads

[Judy Rump]

Just a word of caution to all you Yurt owners who live in snowy regions, clear the snow from your Yurt roof. I was once a Yurt owner whose yurt collapsed. It will be two years at the end of March when it occurred and it still saddens me to this day that our beloved yurt collapsed. Our

insurance

company did not compensate us one cent because their forensic engineer came to the conclusion that snow load may have been the cause of the collapse and that the yurt specs did not meet the snow load building requirement for our region. Our Ontario, Canada sales rep. and the B.C., Canada yurt company did nothing for us.
