Hi Michael, Thank you so much for all of your help with our yurt raising. You were invaluable and everyone on the team kept talking about how much they appreciated you being there. Your calm demeanor, expertise and sense of humor made the two days a most pleasant experience. Here is a link to our blog post with a link to pictures of the yurt raising.

"What a wonderful product the Raven Yurt we put up at Camp Westminster is. This was a mission project for our church with bunch of weekend do-it-yourselfers that went together like clock work. I knew when we tacked up the story tape and were within 3/16's, everything was golden! Thanks again for a great product and our hats off the team that put together the assembly manual / platform drawing."

Off the Grid

I'm amazed at the quality of construction - nothing could get in here. I'm completely protected from the elements. Through all the wind, rain and snow we always stay dry and warm inside.

We are quite pleased with our yurt. It is so handsome, and it is a wonderful, unique structure.

Why Rainier Yurts

Reason #1: Snow Load Engineering

Rainier yurts are built tough! They are engineered to meet the International Building Code and feature the thickest, strongest lattice in the industry. We utilize Machine Stress Rated (MSR) Douglas Fir in our rafters with a 2,400 rating in bending stress – 40% stronger than standard fir. No other yurt will stand up to the snow and wind conditions like a Rainier yurt!

Reason #21: The Pursing String

An Eagle exclusive, this cable secures the wall structure to the deck using Jib hanks that twist and lock to a stainless steel cable, tucked underneath the platform. It keeps the wind, water and bugs out of your yurt.

Reason #6: Real Windows

Rainier offers the Real Wood Window option; a variety of sizes are available with thermal insulated windows including removable insect screens.

Reason #17: Experience

Rainier’s roots go back to the Alaskan Gold Rush. We were founded in 1896 as Puget Sound Tent & Awning, merged with Seattle Tent & Awning in 1985 and subsequently changed our name to Rainier Industries. With the acquisition of Nesting Bird Yurts in 2004, we added the experience of a company that first built yurts for the Israel family in 1972. We are the only yurt supplier that has been satisfying customers for over 115 years!

Reason #72: The Story Strip

With this strip, there's no guesswork. Wrap it around the edge of the platform before starting your installation and it shows you exactly where all the critical elements go.

Reason #13: Eagle Blocks for Higher Snow Loads

Rainier yurts can withstand the most severe conditions by adding some of our innovative upgrades. Ring-to-Rafter Clips securely bond the rafters to the compression ring to prevent rafter rotation and increase vertical shear loads; Eagle Blocks between rafters enhance rafter strength and stabilize the roof system. Vertical posts at rafter ends add to the load capacity of the lattice wall.

Reason #5: Real Doors

Our doors are full sized 36” X 80” and built with thermal insulated Low-E, double pane glass windows - not single pane Plexiglas that scratches easily and yellows over time. We have a variety of door choices, including: solid wood doors for privacy, our popular half-light door, and full light doors to maximize your view and natural lighting. We offer beautiful French door sets as well.

Reason #3: The Tallest Walls in The Industry

Our Eagle yurts are designed with 7’4” tall walls as a standard item at no additional cost! Everyone else stops at 7 feet... and charges you for an "upgrade". Rainier yurts have a spacious and open feeling. This design also allows for full height doors that are ADA accessible for handicapped users.

"I knew when we tacked up the story tape and we were within 3/16th of an inch, everything was golden! Thanks again for a great product and our hats off to the team that put together the assembly manual!"
