Home, Studio

The Groovyyurts is an authentic Mongolian yurt that is an extremely efficient home developed over 3000 years ago in one of the planet’s harshest climates.

UNIQUE FEATURES
  • 350 sq ft, 21 ft diameter
  • Aerodynamic design and easy assembly
  • Groovyyurts sources from family-run Mongolian businesses
This is a winterized yurt package and includes the following:
  • A complete layer of natural felt insulation for easy heating & cooling
  • Clear vinyl dome covering
  • Extra water resistant layer
  • Canadian-made insulated flooring kit

This yurt does not include a bathroom or kitchen.

All yurt packages and materials have been selected by Groovyyurts to withstand the more humid climates of North American weather as compared to the arid Mongolian climate.

*Apart from the first yurt product photo, all other photos are shown as general examples of yurts rather than reflecting the exact size of a 16 ft yurt. Furnishings shown in photos do not come included with the yurt.

Instructional set-up manual

Because yurts are easily and efficiently heated with the use of a wood-burning stove, the dome incorporates a stove pipe hole.

While the yurt does not come with plumbing or electrical systems, you can easily add these with the help of a licensed professional.

ASSEMBLY

Unlike industrial products, Groovyyurts are handmade so measurements (diameter, sq ft, etc.) may not be precise but this will not affect assembly or the finished structure.

  • 3-4 unskilled people, half a day – including installing SIPs flooring
  • To assemble the yurt – no tools needed
  • To assemble the SIPs flooring – power drill & a long ratchet strap needed
FOUNDATION
  • When using the SIPs flooring kit that comes with the yurt, you will need to either lay a gravel ground foundation or build a post and beam support frame to insure ventilation and prevent mold.
  • Once either of these is in place, you can install the SIPS flooring on top of it.
SHIPPING
  • Weight of yurt only: approx. 1100 lbs
  • Size: 125 cu. ft
  • The yurt will be transported by Groovyyurts themselves in their very own truck.
  • The materials used to make a Groovyyurt are mostly natural and are exclusively produced in Mongolia.
  • As a company, Groovyyurts emphasizes fair trade business practices, sustainable development and respect of cultural tradition in Mongolia by buying yurts and materials directly from family-run businesses. They also support and participate in rural initiatives, including a yearly tree-planting program. They plant 25 trees in Mongolia for every Groovyyurt sold.
