Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a yurt last? Where should I place my yurt? How do I look after my yurts? …. Why not drop us a message today? We are more than happy to share our knowledge with you.
Yurt Specialists’ yurt timber frame—if oiled every 2–3 years—can last more than A few decades; with annual cleaning and reproofing, the outer canvas typically lasts more than 7 years at least. Some customers informed us that they never needed parts replacement for years.
Avoid exposed, windy areas and overhanging trees, as they increase maintenance. Opt for a site with good airflow to prevent damp and help the yurt dry quickly.
A raised circular timber base overlaid with planks (with 3 mm gaps) is ideal. A circular base sized to the yurt, with a ~75 mm upstand, tucks under the canvas skirt, preventing water ingress.
A Mongolian Yurt – or Ger – is a remarkable structure used by nomads for thousands of years. Today, they’re used worldwide for permanent homes, glamping retreats, classrooms, and more. Their beauty, strength, and portability make them perfect for anyone seeking a sustainable and unique living space. Our skilled craftspeople hand-make every yurt in Inner Mongolia using sustainable timber and ethically sourced textiles. We adapt each build for the UK and European weather, ensuring durability without losing the charm of traditional design.
We are a family-run business with over 35 years of expertise in designing and crafting authentic, handcrafted yurts.
