Why should you choose a yurt from Blue Ridge Yurts?

If you live in the Eastern U.S. the answer is obvious! Floyd, Virginia is centrally located for pick-ups and deliveries to the entire Atlantic region. Buying local is a conscientious choice.

Compare our standard features to other companies:
  • Our yurts use standard size doors, so if you want you can provide your own unique door as a savings option or design choice.
  • We provide a stainless steel dome opener with telescoping handle so that you can open your skylight for ventilation.
  • We use stainless steel hardware on your lattice, so it doesn't rust and mar your interior walls.
  • A support package, containing milled 2x4's and attachment hardware comes standard with all but the 16' yurts, making shelving and electrical wiring easier and adding stability. Metal strips to reinforce your rafter-to-ring connections are also included.
  • We provide a choice of beautiful hardwood lattice; locally harvested and milled maple or poplar.
  • A unique engineered platform design is provided.
  • The thin plywood band that surrounds your platform and contains the lattice is included in our kit.
We provide all of the features above at no additional cost!
