Parts of a Yurt

Walls, crown, sticks and much more

When ordering your yurt, you’ll not only have to decide about the size of your yurt. Many options are available to your yurt. Please read hereunder to see some of the choices you’ll have to make.

Inside cover

The inside cotton is a thin plain white cotton with simple decoration that is put over the walls to cover the walls. This cotton hides the wooden structure (the walls of the yurt) and gives a white light inside the yurt. The cotton is also put behind the roof sticks to hide the felt.

We only offer this simple design of the inside cover. You can however choose the color of the decoration of the inside cotton. if you want to have it plain white we can make the decoration in white as well. So it will be white decoration on a white cotton.

The yurt's walls

The wall of the yurts is the skeleton that carries the whole structure of the yurts. Depending of its size, a yurt has 3 to 8 walls. The more walls a yurt is made of, the larger the outline of the yurt.

The yurt's windows

We offer windows left and right of the door, windows in the door and windows in the crown. Please read more hereunder

Roof windows are made of Plexiglas, side windows are made of vacuum windows. Roof windows have a special cover that protects the yurt during rainfalls.

The crown

The rain cover protects the yurt against the rain. The rain cover is put directly over the felt. It is a one piece cover made of canvas. It is adapted to the rain habits of North Europe. We are proud of the quality of the rain cover we supply.

The skirt is down around the yurt and makes sure that there is no wind coming in the yurt from down the yurts. It’s important for windy regions.
