Standard & Custom Yurt Features

A commitment to quality that is obvious in every detail.

When you order a Pacific Yurt, you are purchasing the yurt with the highest quality standard features in the industry – of that you can be confident. When we pioneered the modern lattice wall yurt, that was only the beginning. Since then we’ve developed a vast array of custom options to personalize and enhance your yurt according to your individual needs and site requirements. Each option has been extensively tested at our facility and on our own personal yurts.

From energy efficient glass windows systems to beautiful French doors, we have the options you need to make your Pacific Yurt truly a space of your own.

“I’ve long been admiring the works of Pacific Yurts of Cottage Grove, Oregon, the original U.S. yurt maker. They create a versatile, high quality, affordable product, which has the advantage of having more have-it-your-way options than any other. And they have excellent customer service as well.”

Insulation Options for All Seasons

Insulation Liners

Our seven-layer reflective insulation — originally developed by NASA — is covered with an ivory interior fabric for a clean, finished look. It reflects radiant heat both ways, keeping your yurt warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Each liner is custom-fitted to your window and door layout.

Made of reflective insulation with a matching fabric liner, these covers help retain warmth during the coldest months. They attach easily and can be removed or mixed — insulate some windows while leaving others open for natural light and views.
