Yurts

The womb of the tent world. This has always been my favourite tent. Originally called a Ger and from Mongolia, where people live in them in the harsh conditions of the steppes. I have seen these tents go through very high winds without any damage whatsoever. Often the chosen dwelling of travelling folk due to their spaciousness, beauty and the fact that you can heat them. Most yurt dwellers would have a wood burning stove but you can also have an open fire provided you remove the crown cover leaving the crown exposed to the night sky. Our yurts allow for this possibility by having separate wall, roof and crown covers.

Uses for a yurt

As well as dwellings, yurts are regularly used to hold workshops and as a sacred space – when you enter a yurt you will understand why, the serenity you will find in a yurt is second to none.

Yurt sizes and accessory options

We presently make yurts in the following sizes: 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m. Doors and windows are also available for your yurt in "almost" any configuration you like so please contact us with your requirements. We are also happy to provide/advise as to the best stoves and flues for our yurts.

Yurt materials

The 420g(15oz) canvas is a 50% cotton 50% polyester mixed weave.The coated 420g canvas has a gore-tex type film on the inside allowing it to breathe but not be penetrated by rain, no matter how heavy. The 600g (20oz.) Beige canvas is extremely durable and is designed for long term use. The Nordic canvas material is in a class of its own and this is the one we recommend if you are going to live in your yurt or leave it up permanently. All of our canvas is water and rot resistant.Flame retardent canvas is also available. The covers are very durable and we are happy to advise as to which is best for your needs. We also offer 0.5cm white felt insulation for the serious yurt dweller, contact us for more info on this.
