What is the floor of the Yurt?
Yurts are typically installed on a platform elevated at least 18″-24″ which will provide a crawl space for accessing plumbing, wiring or storage. Since every site is different, and the circular platform is basic deck construction, we recommend buying local materials and building the platform per our plans, according to your local site conditions and code requirements. When you place your yurt order, we’ll send you complete plans and a materials list for a yurt platform. Rainier can provide site specific deck plans for your yurt to meet the new International Building Code, which requires your deck be engineered for your specific location. Rainier has partnered with an engineer and we are able to provide site specific deck plans for $700.00 on level sites. Sloped sites will cost more. Note that the engineering on your Rainier yurt is only valid if the yurt is properly installed to a deck that has been engineered. Rainier provides plans to build two styles of platforms: 1. Standard Wooden
