Building yurts all over the world

The yurt is a mobile year-round dwelling with protection from cold, heat, wind and rain, traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia since the XII century.

Yurts are distinguished by the type of structure into Turkic - common in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolian - traditional for the peoples of Mongolia, Buryatia, Kalmykia, Tuva and Tibet.

In the section catalog of Yurts you can get acquainted with the prices for the yurt and choose the appropriate option.

Our company produces yurts of five standard sizes:

• A yurt with a diameter of 5 meters, an area of 21 m².
• A yurt with a diameter of 6 meters, an area of 29 m².
• A yurt with a diameter of 7 meters, an area of 40 m².
• A yurt with a diameter of 8 meters, an area of 51 m².
• A yurt with a diameter of 9 meters, an area of 63 m².

We can also make yurts of both larger and smaller sizes, the details are discussed individually.

The yurt is perfectly suitable as temporary housing when building the main house on its own country plot, and later can be used as a guest house or a summer kitchen.
Also recently, in Recreation centers, such a type of guest accommodation as living in a yurt is gaining popularity. People strive for exoticism, unity with nature, and a yurt is a great alternative to various houses and hotel rooms.
In addition, the yurt can be used as:

• shopping pavilion in the city;
• cafe, ethnic-style restaurant;
• housing in shift settlements for geologists, archaeologists, oil workers, builders in hard-to-reach areas;
• yurts have become especially widespread in ski resorts – as souvenir shops, tea rooms and just rooms for recreation.

Now let's talk about the size of the yurt in the assembled state. Let's focus on the standards, these are yurts with a diameter of 5.6 and 7 meters.
The height of the walls and the height of the door jamb are the same - 1.7 m.,
The dimensions of the door itself (doorway) are 1.4 m high, 0.7 m wide.
The height of the pillars-supports for the yurt:

• for a diameter of 5 meters – 2.35 m,
• for a diameter of 6 meters - 2.6 m.
• for a diameter of 7 meters - 2.85 m.

Thus, taking just one step inside the yurt, a person of average height can already be there comfortably and in full height.

In continuation of the conversation about the installation of the yurt, it will not be superfluous to mention on which surface the yurt will be installed. Another plus of the yurt is its suitability for installation on any surface, depending on the goals and needs pursued by the customer and here each situation is negotiated individually. But in the most common case, when the yurt is installed permanently and for a long time, our company has its own recommendations on the design of the podium for the yurt.
In particular, as a foundation for the podium, you can use:

• an ordinary 150x150 bar, dug into the ground,
• rough floor made of 150x50 boards,
• 100 mm styrofoam. (foam)
• plywood as insulation or OSB-plate for finishing the floor.

For a more complete understanding of the design, our specialists will provide you with all the necessary photos and drawings.

It is possible, but it is not desirable in the wall itself, this will break the tightness. It is better to make glass inserts in the door.

As a rule, standard yurts are available. Adaptation to a specific order takes about 7-10 days. Painting the frame in the desired color, applying an ornament, making a cover.
Individual orders are made 2-3 weeks.

There are no special problems. A survey of clients shows that the presence of mice, for example, is an isolated case (we have already installed more than 200 yurts), and insects in felt have never been started with proper ventilation and drying of the yurt. Moreover, today, yurts with artificial insulation are more often ordered.
As for mosquitoes, you can use a mosquito net in the dome area.
Note that in any private house there is a possibility of the presence of rodents and insects. If there are concerns, then you can do standard prevention – treat the floor insulation with recommended compounds from mice, and ventilate the room more often from insects.
Our demonstration yurt has been standing for the 4th year, we have never seen mice and moths have not started.

The yurt is easy to assemble and, as a rule, most of our customers install it themselves. Together with the yurt, we attach detailed instructions with photos and comments on its assembly, and our specialists will also consult you by phone on any questions that arise during the assembly process.
On the territory of Krasnoyarsk and its environs, our company has an additional service, the assembly of the yurt by our specialists directly on your territory, the details are discussed individually in our office.
Another significant advantage of the yurt is the possibility of its quick assembly / disassembly and transfer to another place if necessary, which is especially important in our country if you use the yurt as a shopping pavilion. We received an order for demolition – we moved to the next street in a day.

Traditionally, stove heating is used for these purposes and our yurts are fully adapted to any wood-burning stove. We recommend furnaces and a complete set of a chimney to our clients.
But considering that we live in the 21st century, and technologies have long stepped over the usual wood-burning stove, you can use modern types of heating: electric, gas, convector, infrared, etc. And also provide a yurt with a warm floor and other comfortable appliances.

The composition of the yurt
Wooden frame made of dry pine, which includes:

• lattice walls - sliding structures of the "accordion" type ("khans"),
• support pillars ("bagans"),
• a light-smoke hoop ("tono"),
• rafter poles ("uni")
• door.

Consider the materials used for the interior and exterior decoration of the yurt:
The inner cover for the yurt. In the standard version, this is a white cover made of cotton fabric, but other color solutions are also possible, discussed individually.
Insulation. One or two layers of felt are used as insulation, depending on which climatic zone the yurt will be installed in. We use only natural yurt felt GOST 16221-79, 8-10 mm thick. It is also possible to use synthetic insulation - holofiber.
A special membrane between the felt and the outer cover of the yurt. It is made of moisture-proof, but vapor-permeable material. Provides the exit of moisture from the yurt, formed in the process of human activity, as well as to prevent the appearance of mold. The use of such a membrane allows not only to maintain a comfortable microclimate inside the yurt, but also significantly increases the service life of the felt.
External moisture-proof and vapor-permeable cover. It is used for the main protection of the yurt from external conditions. At the request of the customer, it can be decorated with either a traditional Mongolian ornament or a corporate logo of the customer.
Transparent dome made of acrylic glass. It is fixed on a special hardware on a light-smoke hoop, which allows it to be opened for ventilation of the yurt. This is an exclusive detail of our yurts, because in traditional technology, just a cloth cape is used. When bad weather comes, you simply close the dome, and do not run out into the street and, pulling on various ropes, pull on a cape that covers all sunlight, besides does not give 100% moisture protection.
All of the above details are included in the standard equipment of the yurt.

From 500 to 900 kg, depending on the diameter.

The yurt can be perfectly zoned with the help of partitions. It is not a problem to build in a bathroom. Modern technical solutions allow us to do this.
