Pacific Yurts
Boys grow up playing in tree houses. When they get older, they play in yurts. What is a yurt, you ask? A simple answer: a highly efficient dome-like structure that you can put in any open space. Like, say, a backyard. You can use it for anything – a gathering spot, a guest house, a shed or a studio. Pacific Yurts has been making them for years (yurt resorts also exist in California) and they build them in a variety of sizes to fit your space – ranging from 115 sq. ft. to 706 sq. ft. Standard features include kiln-dried lattice walls, Douglas fir beams, cedar door and frame, vinyl windows and some very, very strong support cables. Upon ordering, a big ass yurt will come right to your door, complete with easy setup instructions and an unbeatable 15-year warranty.
Buy: prices range from $4,375 to $9,495.
