Hello, I have been reading about your yurt domes and I had a few questions that I couldn’t find. I am living in Portland, OR and I am planning on living in the yurt dome for the winter season which means rain, rain, rain. I was looking at the 14′ one. Can you put a woodstove in the 14″? Also, which type would you think would be best? I also was confused about the extra strong version, should I order that one? Have people ever complained about https://shelter-systems.com/lighthouse-manual.html? I know of quite a few cats in the area and fear that they might try to sharpen their claws on it. Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Hi Sarah

You can add a wood stove to our domes: https://shelter-systems.com/lighthouse-manual.html but do note that the 14′ is quite small (7′ tall Only in the center). You might be happier with an 18′. You can use either the standard dome (with 4 clear vinyl windows or the extra strong windows (only the windows are different). Cats are not often a problem but if you have one to make a pin hole or two use 100% silicone rubber glue to seal it up.

Sincerely,

Bob Gillis
