It’s a great question and one we hear often. The truth, is the only thing we share with traditional yurts is the round shape. Freedom Yurt-Cabin Kits are fundamentally different, offering code-compliant structural engineering and energy code-compliant performance of a permanent structure. Why Freedom Yurt-Cabin Kits Stand Apart:
  • Not a traditional soft-sided yurt: No fabric, No lattice; our system is a true hard-sided structure built for long-term durability.
  • Built for real-world conditions: Featuring true R-value insulation (not reflective barrier insulation), minimum 115 mph wind rating, engineered snow-load capacities that meet or exceed most building code requirements; offering a true 4-season yurt structure.
  • Engineered, prefabricated structure: Every Freedom Yurt-Cabin is a fully engineered, prefabricated Yurt-Cabin kit, designed for efficient installation and high performance.
  • Integrated construction system: Includes an engineered floor system, solid insulated walls, and an open wooden cathedral ceiling that is fully insulated.
  • Freedom Yurt-Cabin kits deliver the uniqueness of a yurt with the strength, safety, and energy efficiency of a fully engineered, code-compliant round structure, creating one of the most durable and premium hard-sided yurts available today.
Yes, Freedom Yurt-Cabin kits meet or exceed building codes across almost the entire North America. Our hard-sided Yurt-Cabins are engineered to the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) standards, ensuring structural integrity in all 4-seasons. In addition to being fully engineered structures, Freedom Yurt-Cabin Kits use traditional thermal insulation, not reflective radiant barriers! Utilizing builder-grade materials that your local officials can easily evaluate and approve. This makes your permitting process straightforward and familiar for building departments.
Yes, this is a valid question we hear quite often. Our Yurt-Cabin Kits are fully engineered and more than capable of meeting almost every energy code and performance standard throughout North America. As builders of energy code-compliant yurts, our team is highly knowledgeable in regional requirements and use REScheck to document and demonstrate compliance, even in the most demanding “hot” or “cold” climate zones. Every region has its own insulation requirements; we offer multiple insulation package options to make your Yurt-Cabin meet or exceed local codes.

We are knowledgeable of the documentation needed to streamline your permitting and compliance process.
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
We’ve chosen a PVC-woven membrane roof cover because it delivers long-lasting durability and is easier to repair or replace. The PVC-woven membrane is especially resourceful in remote locations where traditional roofing materials may be harder to access. The membrane also helps regulate interior temperatures in both hot and cold climates, allowing your Yurt-Cabin to function as a true 4-season yurt structure.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We love our 16 wall yurt. It was a surprisingly easy install — over a long weekend. But I REALLY, REALLY love the customer service. Our yurt experienced a major flood. I've never experienced such thoughtful, hyper-responsive customer service. They talked me through all the steps I needed to fix the yurt — until everything got thoroughly fixed. I highly recommend them.
Daniel H
I love my yurt! The wood cabin is beautiful, thoughtfully engineered and solidly build with quality wood, insulation, and hardware. It's an amazing build with multiple structural redundancies and easy-to-follow instructions... BONUS: the customer service is top-notch. At no time during the process did I believe I was on my own... the crew at Freedom Yurt Cabins were with me every step of the way. An amazing experience with an amazing yurt cabin to show for it!
Laura T
Everyone at the company was helpful and communicative, I never had to wonder about the status of anything when it came to my cabin. The Yurt itself was easy to set up with the help of a few friends. once the ground work was finished were had it fully weathered in, in about 5 days. The walls and ceiling are spectacular looking. Great craftsmanship and care is clearly takin in the production.
Weldon K
The yurt is very high quality, nicely packaged, and easy to put together with a few helpers. We had the structure assembled in two days with a crew of 5 guys. All the pieces fit together perfectly, and the attention to detail is amazing... This product was purchased as the first of its kind in our State Forest System to rent out to campers in a remote setting. It has generated a lot of positive interest, and we look forward to people enjoying it for decades to come!
Chris B
...The new 18-wall cabin is exactly what we wanted from the coolest looking beamed ceiling to the space we desired in our "tiny retirement dream home." With everything coming in a kit to the step by step manual you cannot beat the price!
