Yurts
These ancient structures date back thousands of years to the nomadic tribes of Central Asia where they were used as portable dwellings. Our yurts have evolved to suit our Aussie lansdscape as eco-friendly and low-cost accommodation solutions.

New Yurt Colours Pale Eucalypt and Evening Haze to suit our Aussie landscape
Standard inclusions on all yurts:
Yurt cover: durable, waterproof, and UV-resistant double coated PVC canvas. Ideal for harsh Australian conditions. Will last 7 – 10 years in Aussie sun before needing replacement (approx $2,000 for replacement)
Wall frame: bamboo lattice and aluminium frames as well as top and bottom aluminium channels, combining the strength and flexibility of both materials.
Roof frame: pine roof rafters extend from the wall frame to central supporting ring to give structural support.
Dome skylight: clear polycarbonate dome skylight provides plenty of natural light into the yurt.
Ventilation: whirly bird style ventilation for great air flow and to expel hot air and condensation.
Small window: one small cantilever window included (900mm x 675mm) of glass and aluminium construction. Extra available.
Door: Fir wood double door (900mm wide) with fixed glass panels, includes lock and keys. Can have additional door too if required.
Insulation: felt insulation installed between inner lining and outer yurt cover, keeping the yurt warm in winter and cool in summer. Mold and mildew resistant.
Interior liner: a lightly patterned fabric in your choice of 2 warm and neutral tones, champagne beige and golden honey.
Anchor kit and fixings: All the bits and pieces you need to install and secure your yurt. (You need to arrange a suitable base structure for your Yurt) *see notes on assembly below and ask us for decking plans.
Shipping and handling: Shipping to your nearest port is included (Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane) however final delivery will be an additional cost (we will arrange on your behalf) or you may collect from the port warehouse with a suitable trailer or own courier.

Trust,
one Yurt at a time
Optional Extras available for all Yurts:
Small window ($220 each): 900mm (h) x 675mm (w) cantilever window which opens outwards for airflow. Can be installed in any position you choose.
Large window ($550 each): 1.7m x 1.7m (approx) fixed glass bay window, for framing that perfect view and letting in plenty of sunlight. Can be installed in any position you choose.
Notes on assembly:
Sub-frame and flooring: these are not included and will need to be arranged independently. We typically suggest building a sub-frame of either timber or steel construction, with a round timber platform to match the diameter of your yurt. Alternatively you could pour a circular concrete pad. Get in touch to ask us for our decking plans.
Difficulty: your yurt is fairly simple to build, and can usually be done in a few short days with simple tools, depending on how handy you are. The most difficult part is placing the outer cover over the frame. The outer cover is heavy and will need 3 – 4 people to lift for the larger diameter sizes. You will need a large A-frame ladder or a scaffold to reach up to dome height as you need to pass the outer cover through the dome from inside, before spreading out.
A rewarding experience: The joy of building your yurt is reminiscent of the old homesteading “barn raising party” – Get some friends and family around to help and create memories that will last a lifetime!

CHECK OUT ANTHONY`S 5M YURT HOME OFFICE IN SYDNEY
Hey it`s Ryan at Yurt in the Dirt with another one of our clients` awesome builds!
This one is right in the heart of Sydney, but you`d never pick it. Epic views and a really tranquil space to get to work and make the daily grind feel more like a glide.
Planning:
Anthony reached out to see whether a Yurt might work as a home office, so we shared some ideas, and a few conversations later we had a plan for the right size and layout, as well as a decking build which had to extend out over a retaining wall.
DIY Decking:
Anthony constructed his own decking with the help of some family. He used our decking plans for reference but tweaked them to work with the lay of the land.
Interior:
Inside the 5m Yurt is a floor space of 20sqm which is plenty for a home office and some space to hang out in the bean bags to admire the amazing view.
Cost Breakdown:
5m Yurt and extra windows - $12,750
Decking - $5,000
Interior Fitout - $1,500
TOTAL - $19,250
