[Pacific Yurts]

The Solar Arc (translucent fabric integrated into the the top cover) is a great option for adding more natural light to the yurt, but only if you have a fully shaded site. Otherwise you will definitely have more heat gain and should not choose this feature. If your site is in full sun I would recommend that you consider adding at least roof insulation to reduce solar heat gain, but you can also add it at a later date if necessary. On a small yurt the roof insulation can be retrofitted in a few hours.

The longevity of the solar arc fabric will depend on the material it is constructed from. We developed this feature back in 1981 and the durability will not be a problem if you choose to add it.
