Sorry no longer in business!
Mike one of our readers sent me a note about this yurt option that is both easy to assemble and affordable.
These fiberglass yurts range in size fron 15.4′ diameter (181 sq.ft.) to 51.3′ diameter (2011sq.ft.) pre-insulated. Pricing ranges from $15.00/ sq.ft to $20+/sq.ft.
Here is what Alternative Buildings says about their product: Alternative Buildings is your supplier for truly unique and innovative buildings, utilizing an insulated fiberglass panel system. Our new modern composite Yurt assembles fast, is easily customized, and best of all, the cost is very affordable. We have several sizes and options to choose from, making it possible to fit almost any budget.
Fiberglass Yurt Applications
- Residential: As a permanent equity building or money saving family home.
- Recreational: As a second home, hunting lodge, or campsite.

Anyone know how to recycle this?
Does it smell like plastic inside?
They do not reply to their emails, requests for information, or telephone calls. I don’t know whether he is still even making these yurts. I am very interested in them and have contacted him several times but never reached him, nor had any of my telephone calls or emails returned.
Does anyone know if he is even still in business? I don’t think he can be, with such abysmal customer service.
I do not think he is in the business of selling these yurts anymore. I am the designer and if you are interested in them I can provide more information. markkettering at earthlink dot net

Link seems broken. I owned a white mountain yurt for a couple if years. I miss it. The new owner is enjoying it. Wanted to know more about this insulated version.
