Shelter Systems' Portable Geodesic Yurts
Geodesic 30' Yurt
Known for their lightweight construction and strength as well as for the large amount of light they let in, they are made with a strong, tear-resistant fabric and non-puncturing tarp fasteners. They are truly portable and guaranteed to be leak proof. These Yurts have served as family living spaces, camping tents, emergency shelters, studios, playrooms, retreats, fair pavilions, expedition tents, research tents, and more.

The photo shows the 31' by 16' tall Yurt, two 30' 11' tall Yurts and the 20' by 10' tall.

The 14', 18' and 20' Yurts can be set up by one person in 30 minutes without tools. Insert the interchangeable poles into factory-attached connectors spaced evenly over the cover. The poles bend slightly when inserted, tightening the cover into a wind- and waterproof shelter. The cover is freestanding requiring no guy lines and can be moved into the desired position or location without disassembly. The Yurt can be taken down in 5 minutes: just remove the poles and roll up the covering.

STURDY DESIGN
Yurts are stronger than any other structure made of the same materials. Because of its curved shape with no corners, there are no weak points. The patented structure is drum tight, waterproof and wind-resistant.

Shelter Systems' Yurt have the poles on the outside with the covering suspended under the frame via Shelter Systems' own Grip Clip tarp fasteners. The frame and the covering are not in direct contact. The important benefits from this design are that the covering is under constant, even tension so that the tent will not flap or shred in the wind. The poles cannot rub against the covering, thereby wearing holes in it. Water and leaf debris do not get caught in dips between the poles since the covering is tightly suspended under the poles. The poles and covering are not touching, so there is no temperature buildup to degrade the fabric at contact points.

The shingled panels of our Yurts overlap each other by 6", making the structure stronger and completely leak proof. The shingling also allows the structure to breathe. The buildup of moisture is driven out through the overlapped panels by vapor pressure and does not condense inside the tent.

Shelter Systems' patented Grip Clips™ tarp fasteners join the Yurt's cover to the frame. Grip Clips also fasten the shingled panels together, providing greater strength than sewn seams or any type of grommet because they do not puncture the cover, which would allow rain to enter. In addition, the Grip Clip grips a large surface area of the material which prevents the wind from tearing the tent.

DURABLE MATERIALS
Shelter Systems' Yurts are made wholly of Shelter Systems' super strong, tear-proof, woven rip stop film which will not rot or mildew. The covering effectively excludes rain, dampness, wind, cold, leaves and other debris. The completely waterproof covering and the shingling's breathability make a rain fly unnecessary. The covering is manufactured in three layers which are heat bonded together. It is UV-stabilized to withstand up to 3 years of full sun exposure. The white color of the covering defuses the sun and provides 40% shade.

The frames are constructed of strong, long lasting, resilient, UV-stabilized, Class 200, 1 1/4"-diameter (3.5 cm.) PVC tubing.
