Default re: Best Yurt Manufacturer for harsh Maine Winters

I have a 30' Pacific yurt up in the Adirondacks, right in the snow belt. We usually place in the top 5 in America for snow accumulation every year due to lake effect from Lake Ontario.

I have had no issues with snow load. Keep in mind that if you are going to be living in the property during the winter, the snow will slide off because of the interior heat.

I think most of your major manufacturers with stamped engineered plans are fine, providing you purchase their snow packages which usually consist of 2X6 rafters and vertical supports on the walls (studs).

One thing I will say is, don't cheap out on the platform. That is holding all the weight.
