The firm that makes the Yurts (based in Mississauga, ON) is replacing the skins (Roof and wall coverings) on three of the seven yurts this season. (Yurts 34, 38, and 49) The updated material has a much better insulation factor ("R" rating), the stitching is much better, the windows are bigger, and the door is a full 36 inches wide. The original structure was a bit higher by a few inches, so the upright metal posts had to be shortened a few inches.
The two fellows doing the work were telling me that they have these structures in various configurations from the high Arctic down to the Caribbean. They have designed various structures for the military, parks, private use, hospital usage, fixed locations, and portable units.

In Algonquin Park: the results are a very nice looking set up complete with two bunk beds, (sleep 6), table, and chairs, with electric heater, overhead light, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, broom, dust pan, matt, snow shovel, and a metal shelf.
