This is a great question, and one that doesn’t have a simple answer. Companies usually respond with vague statements like “a long time” or “forever if you take care of it.” We prefer to give a more clear and honest explanation.
Our hard-sided Yurt-Cabin kits have been in use around the world since 2014, with many being lived in full-time.
The true life span of your cabin depends on a couple key factors:
- Material quality:
Our premium yurt kits are built with 4-season, long-lasting materials. Including: pressure-treated structural lumber, galvanized metals, fiberglass doors, dual-pane glass windows, to Douglas Fir rafters with a commercial-grade roof cover membrane. Every component has been chosen intentionally for strength, stability, and durability. - Maintenance performed:
Like any well-built wood structure, basic upkeep, such as staining, sealing, and routine inspections, helps your cabin stay weather-tight and strong. With simple periodic maintenance, your Yurt-Cabin is designed to last many decades.
Maintenance kits can be purchased through your Freedom Yurt-Cabin building specialist
