June 2021 delivery: Successful 5 days to complete 18 panel yurt with 6 people Great instructions!!!! Completed floor insulation within two weeks which was hard and tricky. once I finally screwed the 3/4 inch plywood floor down there was unevenness at the joints due to warping of the 2x6 floor joists. needed to have a flooring guy sand the high points in the floor before I could lay down premium vinyl, bummer, but turned out fine. now one year later the floor is still a bit uneven, but okay in a general way. Still not completely satisfied with the floor to my high standard. One year and one winter later the valance is drooping in MANY areas around the top. Very difficult to keep the valence from drooping and wished that there was a better way to keep it in place. Am thinking of solutions and none are obvious. Window caps to keep the rain off the window have been ordered as this is simply an annoyance, but a real one. Overall, I am very pleased as the interior is beautiful and the comfort level inside is very nice.

For the most part we are pleased with our yurt, though there have been a few issues. We erected our yurt last October and have been living in it full-time since late April. 1. The entrance door as installed by Freedom did not close properly. A friend and I spent 3 hours re-hanging the door. Now works beautifully. 2. Screen door that we ordered with the yurt was a piece of crap that worked for 2 weeks. Replaced with a magnetic closure screen door that works great and was a 1/10 of the cost. 3. During April, May, and early June we dealt with relentless high winds. The yurt was snug and sound. However, the awning mounts over the front door did not fair well. Have had to replace the hole mounts for the angled poles extending from the awning. Original mounts made of fir cracked and disintegrated. Made new mounts out of laminated plywood which should never crack.

I have found most everything about my Yurt very satisfactory, from the instructions and support in the building process, to the actual enjoyment of living in it. I have one concern that I would like to see addressed, and that is the seal around the roof line. I live in a windy area and I believe that there could be some improvement on air leakage at the roof line. Once this issue is addressed, I could recommend the Yurt for any environment.
