Lifespace Yurts

Our Vision

At Lifespace Yurts, we take pride in helping you to create beautiful, comfortable, living space. We use high quality materials and technology to produce durable, sustainable long lasting yurt components, and kit sets.

Construction

Lifespace Yurts feature the most durable and beautiful timbers, best quality coverings, stainless steel fixings and specialist yurt joinery. All components are optimally sized for strength and durability. Our yurts come with an opening acrylic skylight.

Unlike normal buildings, yurt door frames are a structural component and yurt doors are often more exposed than in conventional buildings. In questing for decades of service, our top end yurt joinery is assembled to yacht building standards, ensuring a long service life.

PVC yurt cladding is the most durable and lowest maintenance option. When painted with water based acrylic paint, PVC is quite a durable material. ” My first yurt is still going strong after 18 years with it’s original PVC cover and 2 coats of water based acrylic house paint”. We work with both PVC and canvas as requested by our customers.

While clear PVC windows with zips are less expensive to produce, they must be operated from outside the yurt (often during rainy weather). They are also less durable than well made wood framed windows which can be fitted with double glazing. We make both types to suit your preference.

Design

After decades of research and experimentation, our yurt tent kit sets are well designed to suit your needs. Some key factors in the design of our yurts

• We strive to use materials that when combined result in the longest possible service life.
• We recognize that a long service life is a fundamental contributor to sustainability.
• We use Forest Stewardship Council approved timbers that are sustainably and ethically sourced.
• We use carefully selected, very durable, high strength timbers for our yurt tent frame components, whenever possible. These are rated higher than NZ number one framing timber.
• Our yurts are designed to allow easy replacement of components while most of the yurt remains in an assembled state. Including the frame members.
• our yurts easily assembled using our instruction manual and disassemble into components which require only 1 or 2 people to lift. They can be pitched on a deck, transportable floor, earth or concrete floor, or on a ground sheet depending on your needs and budget.
