A Yurt is Sustainable Green Building in New Mexico? I discovered Yurts in Alaska in Valdez and on Raspberry Island. What a remarkable structure and if outfitted properly an outstanding and strong shelter. We build one on our property as a temporary shelter while we surveyed our land and decided what we wanted to build as our main structure or home. The Yurt has been great in the summer and winter. A stove and good insulation make life easy. Not rough-in -it here and we’ve saved $$$ too. Low voltage lighting, recycled and natural materials. Three days on the platform and two on Yurt set up. Weeks finishingJ but that was the fun part. We carved the posts, used old wood for benches. Paintings form interior walls, Cotton Wood Posts support our loft bed and more. Go alternative, green and sustainable. Check out our post on ICF’s is you want something like a real house… But ask yourself. WHY WOOD YOU? And do the math. Thanks. There are many Yurt Companies. I trust Pacific Yurts. We tried others but will always come back to Pacific Yurts. Do your HOMEWORK ask for Customer Referals, Check Local BBB’s and enjoy living in a Yurt. L&S
