We make the cover
from 100% woven cotton canvas which
is waterproof, fire resistant and rot proof. Covers come
in a range of colours - white, green, orange, yellow,
blue and red. The yurt canvas is sewn after the frame
has been completed and measured.
Depending on the size of the yurt the wall canvas is
usually made in two pieces to make for easier transportation.
The canvas can be made to include windows which
can be made in a variety of shapes - whatever you like!
The wall canvas has a pvc mud-wall sewn
onto the bottom to protect its weakest point from splashes
in wet weather. This can also be provided in a variety
of colours.
The roof canvas can be made in two
different ways. A snug fit which will
only fit one size, or a loose fit which
is more appropriate for our yurts as it is inevitable
that a yurt made in this style will rarely be put up
in exactly the same shape every time. If you have a loose
canvas, your roof will always fit!
The yurt canvas is not complete without a cover for
the crown. We sew this as a transparent
plastic 'eye' allowing extra light into your yurt and
a window to the sky.This window is then held in place
across the roof with five long triangular pieces of canvas
which are pegged down into the surrounding area with
our wooden marquee pegs.
If you decide on the canvas door option
we can also sew this in a variety of colours with various
shaped windows at your request.
Yurt canvas' are designed, cut and sewn by us. Having
lived in yurts we are able to design them to be practical,
cope with heavy rain and be user friendly.
Not only can you choose the colour, shape and window
style but we can also 'personalise' your canvas with
any patterns you would like incorporated.
We will create a canvas to suit you and your yurt!

of the door is shown in the photo on the lower left. |
