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. The serious yurt dweller would usually have a wood burning stove but you can also have an open fire provided you remove the upper roof canvas leaving the roof ring 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.

We presently make yurts in the following sizes: 5m, 6m, 7m and 8m. We will soon also be making 9m and 10m yurts as well as smaller ones. We can make them to specific sizes, contact us with your requirements.
