Tallest Wall in the Industry

The Eagle walls are the tallest in the industry at 7′ 4″ – giving it a spacious and open feeling that just can’t be matched in other yurts.

Their standard walls are usually only about 6 feet tall. While some companies offer an extra charge to upgrade to their “tall walls” – they still are only about 7 feet…

Our InvisiLook Picture Windows are the Widest and Clearest in the Market

Our standard picture window size is 48″ high by 84″ wide to give you the biggest view in the business – and they are made out of 30mil InvisiLook – a scratch-resistant marine grade polymer sheet designed give you near perfect visual clarity.

InvisiLook’s 30mil thickness keeps it structurally straight for an undistorted view – even at these large sizes.

For comparison’s sake, competing yurts have windows in the 48″x48″ range and are made from 20mil clear vinyl – which has a blue or gray haziness when compared to InvisiLook – plus they tend to have a wavy surface that warps the view.

Real Full Size Doors – Exclusively on The Eagle

Smart manufacturers know when to buy versus build. On the Eagle, we wanted the best door – so we found a door maker that has been around almost as long as we have – and they are just down the road in Tacoma.

The Buffelen Woodworking Company shares our Manu-Craftering philosophy and builds a great door – so we buy the door from them and custom craft the strongest, prettiest door frame in the yurt industry.

The two parts are a marriage made in heaven – a real door – real wood – full size – over engineered frame – solid and beautiful.

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.

Unique Rainier Radial Roof Construction – Only on The Eagle

Another Eagle exclusive – our roof outer membrane is cut in pie-shaped pieces with radial heat seals for a stronger roof that looks better and will maintain a cleaner surface.

All of our roofs are fully sealed from the peak to the bottom of the drip-edge/valance. There is no stitching to fail in the sun and there is no possibility of leakage.  The small turned hem at the very bottom is stitched with expensive Tenara thread that has a lifetime guarantee against loss of strength.

The standard roof membrane is German made structural grade 19oz vinyl coated polyester with a lacquer acrylic top coat – and it carries a 12 year warranty. You can also upgrade to a 28oz version of the same fabric with a 15 year warranty.

Stainless Steel Aircraft Grade Tension Cable – with Yacht Grade Fittings

If this thing breaks, you have a big problem – that’s why ours is made in the same plant that makes the cables for Boeing. We figured they know what they are doing when it comes to cables.

Our Eagle tension cable is 1/4″ aircraft stainless steel and is the only yurt offered with yachting grade fittings.

Each cable is proof load-tested to spec and pre-stretched – with a spec tag to prove it, so you can be sure its up to stuff.

If you feel safe flying in an aircraft, then you’ll feel safe in an Eagle yurt – at least as far as cable strength is concerned.

Our Work of Art – The Eagle Compression Ring

The Eagle Compression Ring is the heart of your yurt – and a work of art. It combines strength and beauty in a manner that eclipses it peers. Created as a multi-layer, laminated, solid MSR Douglas Fir wooden ring, it is drilled and doweled for extra strength.

Every surface is milled, sanded and smoothed until it is beautiful to the eye and to the touch. Each ring is hand crafted, perfectly round and milled to the exact angles for a perfect fit to the rafters.

Unlike other compression rings, the internal surface is milled to a perfect circular shape to visually compliment the natural shape of the yurt… There are no straight lines to distract your eye on this beauty.

An average  finished ring is  around  6 1/2″ thick with a 64″ diameter.   Then it’ is Verde Treatmented so that it remains strong and beautiful for life. Verde is the first of its kind. It is a 100% sustainable, petroleum free oil finish with no heavy metal compounds, no odor, and no offensive fumes.

A ZERO-VOC finish, it is made with new age vegetable ester solvents, tough plant based resins, and high quality Brazilian rosewood oil – and it offer 99% UV protection for wood in interior and exterior applications.

To say we are proud of our ring is an understatement. More of that DNA thing… we just can’t shake it.

The Beefiest Lattice Wall System Made

Your yurt is only as strong as the weakest link – and that is the lattice wall that supports the entire structure. That’s why we have the thickest, beefiest, baddest lattice in the industry…

Crafted with clear, mixed grain, kiln dried, hand sanded lengths of the finest 3/4″ by 1-1/2″ northwest Douglas Fir that are treated with Verde Oil.

Verde is the first of its kind. It is a 100% sustainable, petroleum free oil finish with no heavy metal compounds, no odor, and no offensive fumes. Verde is a ZERO-VOC finish made with new age vegetable ester solvents, tough plant based resins, and high quality Brazilian rosewood oil – and it offer 99% UV protection for wood in interior and exterior applications.

Our SWAPwall Modular Wall System Lets You Change Your Mind

The Eagle is the only yurt made with a modular wall system that allows you to re-configure the sections of the wall any time you feel like it.

This means you can change window positions as the seasons change to increase or decrease solar gain – typically in less than an hour. Each wall panel measures approximately 92″ and locks together using a unique system of heavy duty marine zippers and marine grade velcro.

Engineered for High Wind and Snow Loads

Rainier Yurts are built tough – no extra charge.

All Rainier Yurts are designed for a minimum wind load of 95 miles per hour and can achieve snow loads up to 280 pounds per square foot.

See specific cost information in the pricing section.

If you need help determining your needs or require a snow load greater than what you see available, contact us. We recently delivered a 33’ yurt specially constructed to meet a 169 pound per square foot snow load requirement in Alaska.

Eagle Exterior Two-Tone Vinyl Wall Fabric

The Eagle exterior wall fabric has exceptional resistance to mildew and UV rays making it a waterproof fabric that is the perfect choice for installations in sunny, high humidity areas.

Made with wick and craze resistant polyester weft-inserted warp knit scrim, it has a matte, linen-like finish that combines long-lasting good looks with exceptional dimensional stability and superior strength.

In our book, it is the best fabric we seen on the outside of a yurt – and we guarantee it will perform flawlessly for 5 years – or we’ll replace it!

Eagle Army Duck Canvas Interior Wall Liner

Almost everyone has heard of Army Duck Canvas and knows it mean high quality – but we take that a step further and add a Sunforger treatment to the canvas.

Sunforger makes the canvas water repellant and mold, mildew, fungi and algae resistant – plus it’s “boat shrunk” – so that it will never shrink more than 3% over the life of the canvas.

No cotton canvas is completely 100% shrink proof, but Sunforger canvas is as close as you can get. Our Sunforger Army Duck meets the Industrial Fabric Assoc. Tent Spec. CPAI-84 adopted by many states and the Federal Government as the fire rating standard and offers a margin of safety previously unavailable in a canvas.

Dome

Our dome is made from 1/4″ thick clear Plexi-Glass.

You can have a fixed dome, or add the optional dome opener for added ventilation.

A tinted version is also available if you live in a very sunny area.

Pursing Cable – A Rainier Innovation

The Eagle yurt pursing cable gives you the best seal available. It is an exclusive design that cinches the wall bottom under the platform to seal out weather and insects.

Rafters

Clear, Hand-selected, MSR 2400 kiln dried Douglas Fir. Rafters are sanded and finished to take the greatest advantage of the warm, natural beauty of the wood.

treated with Verde Oil. Verde is the first of its kind. It is a 100% sustainable, petroleum free oil finish with no heavy metal compounds, no odor, and no offensive fumes. Verde is a ZERO-VOC finish made with new age vegetable ester solvents, tough plant based resins, and high quality Brazilian rosewood oil – and it offer 99% UV protection for wood in interior and exterior applications.

Wall and Roof Attachment System

Drawing from work in the marine industry, we engineered a unique system to securely attach the wall to the roof.

Using a stainless steel cable that is sealed into a flap section of the roof as an attachment point, the wall is hung with nylon “jib hanks” used in the sailing industry.

This makes for a quick & easy attachment as the hanks are designed to twist & snap onto the cable.

The edge of the roof has a kevlar cable sewn into it using weatherproof Tenara thread – (which is a fancy name for Gortex) – and this cable uses a ratchet device to tension the roof securely around the yurt.

We think its a pretty neat system!
