Why Buy from Yurt Specialists?
At Yurt Specialists, you are not just buying a tent, you are investing in an
authentic Mongolian yurt, carefully adapted for the UK and European climate.
We are a small family-run business based in Oxford, offering honest advice,
high-quality craftsmanship and ongoing support.
Authentic Mongolian Craftsmanship
Our yurts are handmade by skilled craftsmen in Inner Mongolia using traditional
techniques that have been passed down through generations. We then refine the
design to suit UK and European weather, so you get all the beauty of a
traditional ger with added comfort and durability.
You can read more about us on our
home page.
High-Quality Materials Built to Last
Every yurt is built from carefully selected, durable materials, including:
- Strong timber lattice wall and roof poles
- Thick sheep’s wool felt insulation to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer
- Heavy-duty, weather-resistant outer canvas suitable for UK rain and damp
- Robust groundsheet designed for long-term use
- Multi-layer window system (mesh, PVC and insulated cover)
Our yurts are designed for year-round use when paired with a suitable base
and heating. For example base ideas, see our
Yurt Decking/Base guide.
Comfortable, Practical Design
We have refined the layout and proportions of our yurts to make them
comfortable and easy to use in everyday life:
- At least 1.6 m wall height for generous headroom
- Self-supporting roof design so many sizes do not need a centre pole
- Thoughtfully positioned doors and windows for light and ventilation
- Two roof caps included – an insulated cap with flue cut-out and a clear cap for daylight
