What happens here

The yurt kit includes insulation made of a reflective foil material. This insulation is installed on the exterior of the lattice walls in multiple layers to provide thermal efficiency, especially important in climates with extreme temperatures. It typically comes in rolls, and is cut to size, then wrapped around the perimeter of the yurt and secured, often with tape, to create a sealed, insulated barrier. The builder highlights that this insulation is critical for dealing with both heat (like in Texas) and cold (like in Minnesota).

Goal: Create a thermal barrier for the yurt's interior.

Tools and materials

  • Duct Tape — Sealing insulation seams
  • Measuring Tape — Measuring the insulation for accurate cuts
  • Reflective Foil Insulation — Insulating the walls of the yurt for thermal regulation
  • Staple Gun — Temporarily securing insulation panels
  • Utility Knife — Cutting insulation material
