Key Considerations

Putting a Colorado Yurt on your land is not complicated, but there are several considerations to keep in mind as you sketch out your yurt dreams.

Deck Plans

Understand your building needs first. Want a heated concrete platform for your yurt or an extended deck to place a few chairs? Either way, you’re going to need to arrange for something to place your yurt upon. We don’t supply decking unless you want SIPs panels, so it’s important to understand what you’ll need to arrange before your yurt is pitched.

Engineering

We build each yurt to provide years of enjoyment using wise and reliable choices of wood and outdoor fabrics inspired by diverse industries like the military and outdoor tech. Colorado Yurts are built to withstand because we take engineering very seriously. This gives you peace of mind that you’re in a sturdy, stable, and safe structure.

Utilities

If you have access to electricity and/or water on your property, these lines can be run to any location under your yurt and brought up through the floor. Pipes, outlets, and light switches may then be placed wherever convenient. If you decide to add electricity or plumbing to your yurt, we suggest starting with a floor plan before building your deck, noting where the electrical and plumbing will need to come through the floor.

Energy Codes

Our new Prodex insulation creates a shield that effectively blocks heat conduction. With an impressive R-value of 22, our Prodex product enables our constructions to meet the stringent building code criteria in counties where such regulations apply. If you don’t have access to electricity on your property, you can install solar panels for your off-grid property.

Environmentally Friendly

Compared to other shelters of similar size, ability, and functionality, Colorado Yurts are a low-impact shelter with a small environmental footprint, but many locations require some form of building or planning & zoning permit to pitch a yurt.
