Standard Specification of our yurts

 

All our yurts come complete with all genuine Mongolian manufactured parts, including:
  • Lattice walls - made from wood hand hewn by the manufacturer and air dried for a minimum of 1 year. They are joined using camel hide ties and tensioned with yak/camel hair tension bands;

  • Painted and traditionally decorated woodwork in red/orange, blue or green base colour with a traditional pattern (crown, roof ploes and door). The paintwork is protected with a lacquer finishing layer;

  • Decorated roof poles with plaited camel/yak hair loops;

  • Painted and decorated wooden door;

  • Open decorated crown. We have arranged for the whole of the crown to be exposed to increase the light entering the yurt (in Mongolia, half the crown would be covered with felt and canvas to maximise the insulation in their -30°C winters);

  • An extra heavy 24oz green waxed canvas, made oversize to ensure that there are good overlaps between the two halves, and that the canvas reaches the ground;

  • 9mm thick white 100% sheeps wool felt insulating layer, covering the walls and roof. This is the most expensive of the felts available, but has better thermal and fire performance and water resistance than the more usual polyester wool mixes;

  • White cotton outer cover with a traditional decoration stitched on in red, blue or green;

  • White canvas rain cap (UK made) with clear plastic windows, designed by us to wrap around the flue pipe (this can be supplied without a flue cut out if required);

  • White canvas skirt with decorative pattern stitched on in red, blue or green;

  • All ropes are natural camel, horse or yak hair;

  • Free training session on assembling your yurt - this usually takes half a day, but can be longer if required;

  • Fully illustrated instruction manual;

  • Full ongoing after sales service.
