Sirocco – Fully featured custom yurt homes

Prices start at $40/sq. ft. and up.

Price reductions available and small farm discounts!  Save when you order multiple yurts!

Imagine a yurt with cedar siding and solid walls that still sets up in a day or two.  One with bolt together wall panels that packs up small and light for shipping or moving.  A yurt with thick fully insulated walls.  Walls thick enough and covered in solid wood that can be easily wired to electrical code and plumbed for water.  Cover that yurt in a metal roof that will last longer than its beautiful cedar siding and insulate its roof to keep out the winter chill.  That’s the Sirocco.

We are updating our designs!!! Please excuse our changing content on this page.  Thanks.

Wall Structure

Our Sirocco wall panels are built to be easy to install – just bolt the panels together using supplied hardware and pre-drilled holes and you will have a completely finished house or cottage.

Insulation

The wall of the Sirocco can hold any amount of insulation.  Because of the solid wood interior walls, the Sirocco’s options for insulation are diverse.  Choose from cellulose, recycled denim batts, polypropylene batts, eco-friendly foam, or blown-in foam.

Cellulose - One of the most environmentally friendly insulations available, cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspapers and treated to resist mold and mildew, bugs, and fire.  This chemical treatment is both safe and effective.  Composed of borax and boric acid, the fireproofing chemical is a naturally occurring substance that is no more toxic than table salt.  Originally mined out of Death Valley, CA, borax has been used for over a century for cloths washing.  It turns a material that will readily burn into one that has been proven to increase the fire resistance of wooden walls, making homes safer and more insulated.

Cellulose is available across the country in every big-box home improvement store and is easy to install by the homeowner.   Its insulating value is rated at R-3.8 per inch, which makes it better than fiberglass.  It does all this while being a recycled product with no toxic products or dangerous chemicals.  For the Permanent yurt that will not be moved often or ever, cellulose turns a once temporary building into a fully insulated structure that out performs current stick-built homes.

Roof Structure

Metal Roof

Finally, the metal roofed yurt.  A real standing seam metal roof with 50+ year durability and wide array of color choices is custom crafted for each Sirocco yurt.  This roof is so superior to the fabric roofs of other yurts that it pays for itself.  While the material cost of a metal roof is higher than fabric, its sheer durability and lifespan reduce the overall cost of your building.  Imagine never having to replace the roof in your lifetime!  And when it does need replacing, metal roofs go straight to the recycling yard, not the dumpster like asphalt shingles or PVC roof fabrics.  Your new roof may contain steel from someone else’s recycled metal roof
