Mongolian style gers have straight roof poles. Coppice roof poles are peeled, straightened, bleached, seasoned and oiled, the top ends are shaped to fit the tono, the bottoms are shaped and fitted with loops to attach to the Khana. Sawn timber roof poles are planed, the shaft is rounded, the top 30 inches are cut to a long square taper to fit the tono. Each pole is carefully sanded. The bottoms are shaped and fitted with loops to attach to the Khana, and finished with high quality oils.

Bentwood yurts have curved roof poles. Coppice poles are peeled, the bottoms are shaped by hand and steam-bent, then seasoned. The tops have a square taper cut on them to fit the tunduk, The finished poles are bleached and oiled and a cord is fitted to attach them to the kerege. Sawn timber roof poles are planed, chamfered, steam-bent then seasoned. A tennon is cut on the top end, the bottom end is shaped, then the whole pole is carefully sanded and oiled.

The Mongolian style crown or tono is made from kiln-dried local English oak. Beautifully made heavy eight-spoked wheel. Round holes (coppice yurts) or hand finished square mortices (sawn timber yurts).

The bentwood yurt crown or tunduk is steam bent from the finest pieces of locally grown English ash. Made without the use of metal fastenings. Light strong and beautiful, with a choice of raised centres. Hand cut square mortices. All crowns are carefully sanded and finished in high quality oils

A very sturdy door frame, made from solid oak and ash. Oak is used for all parts exposed to the weather and the top and bottom, the back of the door posts are of ash for extra strenght. We try to use english oak, but if this is not available in suitable quality we may use European oak, but only from FSC (forestry stewardship council) approved sources. This door frame is suitable for hanging a wooden door. The whole frame is sanded and oiled. we can supply oak or pine doors at extra cost or you can make your own wooden door to fit. The yurt comes with a canvas door. The door frame does not come apart. If you would prefer a collapsible frame we can make you one at no extra charge.

Our unique lifting prog kit includes a forked ash/oak pole to allow you to put up the yurt whilst keeping your feet on the ground.

A pair of upright poles with oak tops to lift the crown and stabilize the ger in high winds or under heavy snow. Traditionally always used in Mongolia. Our gers can be used with, or without bagana.

Our wall covers are made from 12oz fire, water and rot proofed cotton/Polyester canvas. There is a tough PVC skirt at the bottom which is big enough to tuck under the yurt frame or overhang the sides of decking. The wall attaches to the door frame using our unique, neat, easy to use weatherproof and good looking system which allows for the inevitable shrinkage of the canvas over time, whilst leaving the wooden frame clear for the hanging of doors. On our smallest yurts (up to 14 feet) the wall is in one part. On larger yurts the wall is in two parts which lace together at the back, making the wall much easier to handle.

Our roof covers are completely redesigned for 2008. They are made from the same 12oz. fire, water and rot proofed cotton/polyester canvas. Each cover is fitted to its own frame to give a perfect fit (with or without felt). To make covers fit this well involves a lot of extra work but we think it is well worth it. There is a generous overlap between the roof and wall cover to keep the yurt dry and draught free. There is a round hole over the crown which can be left open on fine days.

Our canvas crown cover is fitted to the shape of the crown. It overlaps the roof cover and is in the shape of a large four-pointed star. It is held in place by strong UV resistant polyester tapes. Keeps the yurt dry and is easil pulled back or removed on hot days. We do not recommend clear windows in this cover as they are prone to condensation and leakage, but we can fit one free-of-charge if required.

A strong canvas band which wraps around the yurt frame, pushing each roof pole securely into place and protection the outer cover from chafing.

All ropes and pegs to hold the yurt together and secure it in place. We have been making yurts for a long time and have learned the best type of rope/cord/tape for each use. There are clear directions as to where each rope goes. Pegs are hand made cleft English ash. An ash mallet is supplied to hammer in the pegs..

The canvas door hangs from the door lintel and sits on the outside of the yurt. It is held rigid with battens in sleeves, has a PVC skirt at the bottom. very weatherproof and attractive door.
