How long does it take to put a yurt up?
It usually takes 2 adults about 2 hours once you’ve done it a couple of times.

How much room does an average sized yurt take up?
Sizes up to 18’ will fit in and on an average estate car. With the family on board a small trailer is a big help – we use an 8’x4’ and we get a 16’ yurt, stove, mattresses, water barrel, gas bottle etc in leaving room in the car for luggage and bedding.

Do you need planning permission?
The best advice is to speak with your local planning dept and to your neighbours. Some good rules of thumb are that you are likely to require planning permission if the yurt is to remain up permanently or if there are services installed. In general use where they would be up for only a few months at a time they are classed as temporary structures and exempt from requirement.

Can they be left up all year round?
The canvas will undoubtedly deteriorate if left up all year round, however if you do want to keep it up throughout the winter it should be heated and aired – leaving it totally unattended would not be a sensible.

Do you have busier or quieter periods?
We are busy all of the time and are taking and fulfilling orders throughout the year. However, we tend to be busier during spring and summer, particularly for yurt hire. Orders are taken upon a first come first served basis so booking up early is advisable.

Can you supply yurts in different colours?
Most of our yurts are made from white canvas – this helps to create the calming, light and airy feel to the inside of the yurt, however we can supply in a soft green or sand – dependent upon canvas supplies. It can be quite nice to have the roof star in the green or sand – both give a pleasing contrast against the white canvas.

What does your logo mean?
The logo has been designed with some thought: the traditional Mongolian yurt is pitched without disturbing the ground as it is held sacred – it is tethered by attaching the guy ropes to rocks. Therefore, in our logo, the yurt is shown elevated above the ground. The heaven and sky are shown in an opposing arc at the top of the yurt, in the form of an eye. As yurts are very ‘grounding‘, earth-connecting structures, a grounding rod has been incorporated. Under the eye of heaven – joined over the earth. If the logo is turned on its side the sign for pices is depicted – Jeremy’s star sign!
