The Bentwood Yurt

|
The Bentwood yurt, or 'oba' as it is called in its native region of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, has a wonderful sense of 'space'. It has been built on a platform, giving it an elevation which allows a fine view, and is located on the fringes of a mixed woodland. |
| The wooden frame for the Bentwood yurt, the walls and the roof timbers, are made of oak. As suggested by its name the timbers used for constructing the roof have been steam bent which has created a dome shaped roof, thus giving this yurt a light, airy atmosphere. This has been covered in a white 12 oz canvas and a marquee lining on the inside gives the yurt a more luxurious feeling. The wood flooring is made from locally sourced larch trees. The Bentwood yurt has a cast iron wood stove which gives out plenty of heat, even in the depths of winter, and is furnished with four pine beds - two singles and a double. Comfortable mattresses, covers and pillows are supplied, together with a wicker basket full of extra blankets if required. There is a small chest for storing items, shelves, a low table and a calor gas two ringed burner. Soft lighting, sheepskins, mats and cushions create a comfortable and superb place to relax and unwind from the chaos that is the world today! |  |
