A yurt’s ability to provide a waterproof interior and resist mold growth depends on the types of materials the yurt is made of. The high-strength and galvanized steel frames used for WeatherPort yurts come with optional powder coating that provides an additional level of protection against humidity and corrosion. The tensioned fabric membranes used for WeatherPort yurts are mold- and mildew-resistant and will not rot. Ground skirts around the base of WeatherPort yurts guide water, snow, dirt, and debris away from yurt. WeatherPort offers vector-proof flooring systems that create a “sealed” interior environment, perfect for keeping out rodents, snakes, insects, and the intrusion of water.
