Yes we would recommend Pacific Yurts. Really we have been pleased with the whole project. It's done fine in storms so far..I think our peak wind was about 50mph which is quite noisy as the fabric snaps back and forth against the lattice, but it seems quite sturdy. Snow has been no problem at all..it all just slides off. The one thing that I would do differently if I had to do it over would be too look into doing my own insulation. The foil/bubble insulation works great, but I am betting I could do it myself quite a bit cheaper and it was really just big pieces of that taped together. For the options, you can do what we did and get the ones that are crucial to get when its put together (like don't skimp on extra windows!). And then you can get add-on stuff later on like window awnings. I plan on doing a full review of our Pacific Yurt sometime soon. -john Hi Dana. Yes we would recommend Pacific Yurts.

Would you recommend pacific yurts? How is it in wind and snow storms? We are from upstate NY so it is basicaaly the same climate as you. Would there be any cost savings things you would suggest? It seems like there are a milliona additional options which come with a large price tag. Hi,
