OUR TIMBER

Our Timber- We source the timber for our wooden frames from numerous local sawmills. The roof poles and wall trellises are made from Red Pine imported from Sweden. The doors, door frames and window frames are made Irish grown Douglas Fir. We stress test every piece we use to ensure your yurt is free from any defects. All timber comes from forests managed in accordance with strict environmental standards and is certified by the FSC.

OUR CROWNS

The crown of the yurt is the central ring which all of the roof poles fit into. We make these to a traditional Mongolian design using high quality hardwood-faced plywood.  They are glued, bolted and laminated together to form a 60 mm thick solid ring which can be painted any colour you choose, just let us know your preference.

OUR DOORS

All our yurts come as standard with beautifully crafted, exterior opening doors. You can choose from Dutch style cottage half doors, a half- glass door with a double-glazed panel or a single door with no glass. French doors are also possible in a larger frame. 

They are carefully and slowly hand built in our workshop in West Cork, using  a time honoured traditional board and batten design.

OUR CANVAS

We use a high quality canvas fabric called Regentex for our outer roof and wall coverings. Regentex is specifically designed as an architectural fabric that doesn’t stretch under tension. It’s a 52% / 48% polyester and cotton blended fabric, which combines the strength of polyester with the breathability of cotton. Regentex is a waterproof fabric that has been treated to be fire retardant as well as mould and rot resistant. 

OUR WOOL  INSULATION

Our wool insulation is sewn to fit the yurt and made from 100% sheep’s wool with Ionic protect (stops moths from feeding on the wool). It provides excellent thermal insulation and is naturally fire resistant. This is our most popular insulation product as it is made from natural material, however it’s also heavy and bulky to store so is best suited to yurts that are staying up all year round.

OUR FOIL INSULATION

 Our foil insulation is a high quality Low E product. It works by reflecting heat and moisture, reducing draughts and increasing thermal performance by blocking up to 97% of radiant heat. It is made from recycled materials and is completely non-toxic. It’s also light, efficient and easy to use.
