Yurt Accessories

Once you have your yurt and have spent a little time camping, you can't help but want to customize and improve your camping experience with little ideas and inventions. While yurts are always far more luxurious that any tent, there are lots of things you can do to make your next camping trip even more comfortable.
Having camped in our yurt for many years with my wife and kids, I have tried and tested lots of ideas and inventions. Some of them you can buy and others will give you ideas of your own.

Canvas Cleaning & Care Products
To help preserve your yurt, we have selected a few products to help clean, remove stains, waterproof and seal the seams... more

Trailers
I designed and built my own yurt trailer for a variety of reasons. I wanted to carry the yurt, plus all the associated paraphernalia that having a family entails. Any old trailer would do for this, but I also wanted a type of Chuck Wagon to cook from and have a large table surface. I hope to offer my design for sale very soon or at least some plans so you can make your own... more

Beds
A good bed is worth it's weight in gold as far as my wife is concerned. We slept on the ground for several years, but as that grew old and the kids invaded, we splashed out on a queen sized collapsable, frame bed with an inflatable mattress. It certainly feels and makes the yurt look like a home from home. Packs down small too.

Shelving
After a few camping trips you realize how shelves become rather essential keeping things handy rather than continually rummaging though bags.  Shelves are great for putting cel phones, flashlights, radios, glasses and kids night time drinks; all within arms reach right next to the bed...more

Windows
There is plenty of light in a yurt, even when the roof wheel is covered, but a window is a great eyepiece into the world on the opposite side to the door. Great for keeping an eye on the kids or a quick morning peek to see what the day's weather holds.
It's not always a great idea to have one in the roof as it causes condensation and is prone to leaks. We will be offering window options very soon .

Roof Wheel Cover (Orkh)
The roof wheel cover is used in unpredictable weather to cover the roof wheel when it rains and also to keep the warmth in at night.

Doors (Nars)
The standard door is simply an extension of the wall canvas which is hung across the door. We soon hope to offer solid doors that break down and pack away easily.

Umbrella
Not what you may think of as being typical yurt equipment, but a great idea for covering the roof wheel - a different and cheaper option to the roof wheel cover (just remember to tie it off at night if it's windy:-).

Wood Stoves
You can easily extend your camping season, by using a wood stove in your yurt. Not only will it keep you warm, but with the models we will soon be offering, you can cook and even heat water on them.
It's a great addition to the yurt, but care must be taken to keep the stove and pipe away from the canvas and always use a spark arrestor... more

Eco Kettle
The Eco Kettle is a wonderful stove to boil water with just twigs, leaves or even just paper. ... more
