Original Yurts are traditional Mongolian yurts made with modern materials. While the wood structure retains traditional elements, the use of modern fabrics in our yurts improves their functionality in various climatic conditions around the World.
Traditional Mongolian yurts are elegant in their simplicity. They are made of natural materials mostly available from nomadic pastoralist life. They are designed to be easy to assemble and disassemble, suiting the nomadic lifestyle of moving several times a year.
Yurts were born to the Mongolian climate, which has relatively dry summers and extremely cold winters. Hence, moisture is not a big issue for traditional yurts. Their compact design with short walls reduces energy requirements for heating during the winter.
But modern customers do not need to move several times a year; they prefer their yurts to be sturdy than portable. Not many countries are as cold as Mongolia in the winter; so walls could be slightly taller for convenience. Moisture is often a problem when traditional yurts are used outside of Mongolia.
We improved the traditional yurt design with sturdier wood parts, better ventilation, taller walls, waterproof design, and the use of carefully chosen materials to withstand the elements when used all year round in environments that are much different from Mongolia’s.
At the same time, we retain the time-tested, original structural design of the yurts, with curved walls, support pillars, and a large skylight. Curved walls make the yurt structually strong by creating force opposing the weight of the skylight. The pillars support the yurt stand strong under heavy snow load. The large skylight allows for abundant natural light and allows for the use of many rafters, which in turn makes the use of thick felt for insulation possible.
Today, the word “yurt” refers to many kinds of round-shaped structures. Our yurts stand out in the crowd by maintaining the original structural design and using the best modern materials that function well and last longer under various climate conditions around the World.
Don’t make the important decision to buy a yurt without checking the features they have. All yurts look beautiful when they are new. But the devil is in the details; it takes more than just looking beautiful to create comfortable and cosy living space that can function in any climate condition.
Our yurts have unmatched great features that come as standard without any additional charges.
We have been crafting yurts for generations, and delivering yurts worldwide since 2010. When you do business with us, you can have a peace of mind to receive a high quality yurt as described. This is important especially when you pay your money to someone in another country.
Our yurts are packed with great features that are not available from other yurt sellers. We offer transparent acrylic finishes on the skylight and windows, PVC outer cover, operable windows, skylight curtain, skylight opener, thick wood parts, tall walls, vapor layer, moisture barrier, and more.
Our yurts have both felt insulation and radiant barrier insulation. This combination makes our yurts best insulated in their class. None of the other Mongolian yurts have radiant insulation. None of the modern yurts have felt insulation, and they get extremely hot in the summer & very noisy under rain.
All other sellers of Mongolian yurts are intermediaries. They buy yurts someone else produced in Mongolia , and offer the yurts for sale to you at some profit to themselves. When you buy a yurt from us, you pay for the great features, but not to profit the intermediaries.
