The Spring Hill, 30 ft, a yurt kit from Yurts of America, is published at $8,194 to $15,790 for the kit and covers 708 square feet.

Yurts of America does not publish a wind rating, a snow load or anything about fire for this model, so 69 percent of the fields we score are blank.

None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.

Completeness

31%

31 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Yurts of America published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.

The thing nobody else will tell you

This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.

Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

  • What Seismic Design Category will you engineer this model to, and is that included or a paid upgrade?
  • Which foundation types does this kit support, and can it sit on piers above a base flood elevation?

Questions people ask about the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft

Answered from what Yurts of America publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".

How much does the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft cost?

Yurts of America publishes $8,194 to $15,790. Base kit price across the 16-30 ft model line (Turkey Run 16ft $8,194 to Spring Hill 30ft $15,790); prices marked as subject to customization options

What wind speed is the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft engineered to?

Yurts of America does not publish a design wind speed for this model. Only about one kit maker in ten publishes one. Note that "hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, so a page using that phrase without a number has told you nothing.

What snow load can the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft roof take?

Yurts of America does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.

Can you actually buy the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft?

Yes. Yurts of America takes orders for this model today.

What foundation does the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft need?

Yurts of America does not publish foundation options for this model. That matters more than it sounds: in a FEMA A or V flood zone the finished floor has to sit above the base flood elevation, and a kit offered on a slab only cannot get there.

How well does the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?

The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, they publish nothing at all.

Will the Yurts of America The Spring Hill, 30 ft work on my land?

Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.

How it compares

It documents more than the average yurt kit, 31 percent against 27, and more than 10 of the other 16 we hold. It publishes no wind rating, where 35 percent of yurt makers do. Against the 10 yurt kits with a comparable published price, it sits above 2 of them, and the middle of that group is $11,175.

Computed across all 514 kit homes in the Index, 17 of them yurt. Recomputed on every build.
