Building a Woodland Yurt


From Woodland to Yurt

Our yurts are made using top quality timber selected from local woodlands

  • These woods are managed primarily for nature conservation.
  • We aim to make our yurts as environmentally sustainable as possible.
  • We use prime quality kiln-dried oak from Southern England for our tonos.
    (Our smaller coppice gers have North American ash tono and door frames.)
