Modern yurts enclose more space with less material than normal buildings while being cozy, strong and beautiful. Our yurts have been engineered for high wind areas. They meet the same durability standards as normal houses. Our yurts are the best ! If you can find a better fabric covered yurt in production anywhere we want to know.

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. We produce all of the yurt components here in NZ.

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. Wall height is approximately 2 meters.

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 20+ years with it's original PVC cover and 2 coats of water based acrylic house paint".

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. While our PVC windows are designed for long life and easy replacement, We prefer to supply long lasting timber framed windows.

Please make contact and view our yurts in person.

    Laksar is currently putting the finishing touches on our yurt, and we can't wait to put it up. The communication throughout the process has been really great, and he has provided invaluable input into our thinking on the placement of the yurt as well as advice on constructing the foundation (which we are undertaking ourselves). 11/10 stars.
