OUR MONGOLIAN YURTS

Yurt land offers you a full-range of hand-crafted Mongolian Yurts, from 15 to 120 m².
Produced in Mongolia with ancestral devices, it is made up of 5 types of elements:

• 1/ Pieces of filter (roof-filter and wall-filter)
• 2/ A protective tarpaulin olive green
• 3/ A Canvas package (outside & inside decorative canvas, a hat and a roof-cover, a protective skirt)
• 4/ A Ropes package
• 5/ A wooden structure (circle, shutters, poles, pillars, walls and door)

All the wooden elements are painted in orange, the traditional color and decorated with traditional paintings.

There are those for the roof and those for the walls.

• The roof's filter is made of 2 pieces, one is forward, and the other is backward.
• The walls' filter is made of many filters, whose number depends on the amount of walls and the yurt's size
  (for example 35 m² = 6 walls = 4 filters).

Note: All our wall-filters are protected by a nylon addition in order to avoid being damaged by water.

Like the filters, the tarpaulin also plays an important role in wet climates.
Made of cotton, tarpaulins aid in of the yurt's waterproofing.

The tarpaulin is divided in 2 parts :

• One integrally covers the yurt's back half, including the circle.
• The other covers the front of the yurt, leaving a door path and a space for a half-circle to allow the light in through the circle's windowpane.

It covers the yurt from the roof's borders to the ground.

Our mass-produced model (canvas n°1) is decorated by 2 friezes.
One frieze is located around the circle's borders, the second is found where wall and roof meet.
2 paintings also decorate the roof.

Other decorative canvases are available (go to options)


It is a canvas made of light cotton.
It covers the yurt from the circle's border until the wooden floor.
It is put over the wooden structure, hiding the filter.


The hat is a canvas envelope in which is sewn a square filter covered by a waterproof canvas.
The hat is decorated with traditional paintings.
On each of the hat's 4 corners are ropes, which surround the yurt.
If it rains, pull on the ropes to shut the hat on the circle.


Yurt's bottom is encircled by a plastic strip, which follows the shape of the circular wooden floor that serves as the foundation of the yurt.
Its purpose is to prevent water from flowing inside.

You will be provided with package of ropes which includes:

• 3 outside ropes fixed on the door.
  These ropes, made from horsehair, surround the yurt and maintain canvas and structure.
• A package of ropes which join the walls together. Its number is one less the number of walls.
• 1 red rope attached to the circle-center provided to hold the stone which weighs the yurt down;
  this is especially important when winds are strong.
• 1 Nylon rope used to maintain the walls.
• 4 ropes set on the circle. 2 of them are used to position the yurt when setting it up, and the other two are used
  for setting up the 2 poles on the circle.
• 4 small ropes to connect the door to the walls.

It is the yurt-roof, composed of 2 circles (a larger and a smaller)
linked together with transversal rods which cut the circle's area in 8 portions.

Half of the circle is covered by canvas and filters.
The other half lets in the sunlight and the pipe-stoves.
Shutters are set on the other-half.


They are glazed wooden frame set on the circle in order to let the sunlight in and to protect the yurt's inside from the rain.








The number of walls depends on the yurt's size.
2 for a 10 m² area, 3 for 15, 4 for 20, 5 for 27, 6 for 35, 8 for 66 m² area...

A wall is a fatigue made of wooden rods which are attached with leather straps (camel nerves), giving flexibility to the whole.
