The Eagle Yurt, 33 ft, a yurt kit from Yurts of Hawaii, is published at $10,112 to $26,841 for the kit, covers 855 square feet and is engineered to 150 mph wind.
Yurts of Hawaii does not publish a snow load or anything about fire for this model, so 56 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
44 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Yurts of Hawaii 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 else we found
Strongest wind claim documented among yurt makers researched: 80-150 mph depending on upgrade level, and company states this is 'Engineered and tested by licensed structural engineers', this is an ENGINEERED (PE-stamped) claim; company also cites an 18-year track record of no exterior replacements as anecdotal support, but names no independent third-party TEST LAB, so do not treat as lab-certified. Snow load is explicitly N/A (Hawaii tropical climate, no snow), left null intentionally, not omitted. Company offers local platform design, drafting, and permitting services in Hawaii. Based Volcano, HI.

Questions people ask about the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft
Answered from what Yurts of Hawaii publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".
How much does the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft cost?
Yurts of Hawaii publishes $10,112 to $26,841. Base yurt price across the Raven/Colorado/Eagle model lines, 16-33 ft; excludes $4,000-$7,000 shipping to Hawaii and excludes platform/permitting
What wind speed is the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft engineered to?
Yurts of Hawaii publishes 150 mph for this model. That is their design capability at the conditions they assume, not a rating of your house. Your required design wind speed depends on your address, your Risk Category and your Exposure Category.
What snow load can the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft roof take?
Yurts of Hawaii does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.
Can you actually buy the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft?
Yes. Yurts of Hawaii takes orders for this model today.
What foundation does the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 ft need?
Yurts of Hawaii 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 Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 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, that is a 150 mph design wind speed.
Will the Yurts of Hawaii Eagle Yurt, 33 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.
