1. Clarify Your Yurt Vision
Your intended use sets the foundation. Are you dreaming of:
– A peaceful backyard retreat?
– A profitable glamping rental?
– A creative space, studio, or wellness getaway?
– Full-time eco-living or an off-grid home?
Knowing your goals helps you design the right space from the start.
2. Choose the Right Size
Pacific Yurts range from 12’ to 30’ in diameter. Here’s how they break down:
– 14–16 ft (150–200 sq ft): Great for solo use, studios, or meditation rooms.
– 20–24 ft (300–452 sq ft): Perfect for guest accommodations, rentals, or family retreats.
– 30 ft (~700 sq ft): Ideal for living spaces, resort-style glamping, or event venues.
