YurtLocker
sells a fully insulated yurt, (frame and covers) for
less than “the Big Guys” sell their un-insulated yurts. Hot, cold or
moderate
climate, insulation makes a big difference in comfort. There are
other
differences, but do your own research, and feel free to let us know
what you
think.
Our yurts are from a traditional yurt-living part of China where many
people
spend their entire lifetime in a yurt. Our factory has built yurts
since 1977
with good workmanship and materials. Their customers are their
neighbors, and
they get fast, reliable feedback. I have been many times to the
factory,
and I have visited yurt villages with the factory guys. They all
know
each other well and proudly show their yurts.
How do YurtLocker yurts compare to the Big Guys’ yurts? They are a
little
different. For one thing, the design is a Kazak style. The
Kazaks
are from the central steppes of Asian, think Kazakhstan. You can
decide
if a YurtLocker yurt is suitable for you. (See the Photos page).
YurtLocker yurts have a steel frame. This
is both an advantage for most and a disadvantage for others. The
roof and
sidewalls have a multi-layer polyester felt insulation, and use a
polyester silicon-organic
canvas cover. We charge less for our complete yurts than
just a
frame and basic un-insulated cover from the Big Guys.
In our personal experience YurtLocker yurts are comfortable at 91f
(33c)
degrees, and also comfortable with a small woodstove when it was -18f
(-28c)
degrees, (a model 40m2, see Photo section).
YurtLocker
is not planning to put the Big Guys like Pacific
and Colorado out of business, LOL. We doubt we will be a blip on their
radar,
but we at YurtLocker couldn’t afford a yurt from the Big Guys.
This is not
intended as a criticism of them; we know our fiscal limitations. They
know what
their product and tech support is worth to those who need it. Not
everyone has
the skill set, is confident in their abilities, and/or is
interested in investing
their sweat equity.
We're looking for those who know the satisfaction of doing for
themselves, or
who feels comfortable without the expensive tech support of the Big
Guys. Need
tech support from YurtLocker? You will get it, but once you are set up
it is so
simple, you probably won't need us again.
We want everyone to be happy in their yurt. Our product is so simply
you won’t
need us, but if you do, we are here for suggestions, parts and support.
Let YurtLocker build your basic structure; you can make it unique.
Speaking of unique, If you like/don't like the Kazak decorations on
your yurt, they can be added or not added according to your preference
. You can even have custom decorations of your design for an
additional charge.
YurtLocker warranty covers manufacturing errors, not the way you choose
to use
the yurt. Our yurts are not engineer certified, but they have been
thoroughly
field tested in a rough climate since 1977.
We
suggest & sell Prodex(R)
reflective insulation for additional comfort.
