We liked the idea of having a Mongolian Yurt but, now donīt really know what to do with it. Our cats like it lts though and you can book a pilates session inside the yurt or possibly enjoy tea and arab cakes.

Our yurt was made in Mongolian and is typical of its region

Traditional yurts consist of a circular wooden frame carrying a felt cover. The felt is made from sheeps wool and other parts of the construction use camel hair. The frame consists of four lattice wall-sections, a door-frame, roof poles and a crown.

Our yurt have two columns to support the crown. The wood frame is covered with pieces of felt. The felt is additionally covered with canvas and sun-covers. The frame is held together with ropes and ribbons. The structure is kept under compression by the weight of the covers, supplemented by a heavy weight hung from the center of the roof. It has straight roof-poles, painted with traditional Mongolian designs.

A yurt is designed to be dismantled and the parts carried on camels or yaks to be rebuilt on another site. Sadly, we donīt have any camels and the cats donīt seem keen on this aspect, so ours will just have to stay put!
