The compression ring can be lifted with the rafters on 16 and 20 foot yurts while scaffolding is needed on larger yurts The dome is attached with safety straps to prevent it from blowing off of the yurt The standard rafter to compression ring attachment is with steel pins on Colorado Yurts The dome is installed on the yurt by carefully pulling it up the roof line with a rope (photo courtesy of S.

Colorado Yurt Compression Ring

Exclusively from the Colorado Yurt Company, our engineered compression ring is cut from two twelve-sided polygons of clear Douglas fir. The yurt compression ring is three inches thick and five feet in diameter. Strong and beautiful—worthy of being the focal point of a Colorado Yurt. The rafters attach by pin to the compression ring.

Colorado Yurt Dome

The domed yurt skylight is ¼” thick pure acrylic. Testing indicates that pure acrylic outlasts other clear polymers when exposed to the elements for five years or more. All size yurt kits come with a dome that measures five-feet across and 16-inches tall. It's construction includes a flange and down-turned edge to efficiently shed water away from your dome opening and onto your yurt roof. The yurt dome also fastens in six places to the compression ring with stainless steel expansion springs and four straps for an outstanding weather-tight fit.
