Inspired by the nomads
tents of Central Asia, FinGer builds yurts which retain
many of the features and construction methods of the
traditional yurt while making a few modifications for
a northern European climate.
The main difference is that instead of the traditional
felt covering we use coated canvas to cover our yurts.
This means that our yurt frames can be made much lighter
as canvas has a greater tensile strength than felt. This
is achieved by allowing a larger wall spacing which in
turn means the use of less components to construct the
frame. Another significant difference is that our yurts
have a steeper roof pitch for better water/snow run-off.
FinGer offer yurts that are made by hand, using local
materials. Frames are constructed from hardwoods, predominantly
Birch,
Rowan and Willow. The covers are made from 400g/m2 coated
cotton/polyester canvas, which is water, fire and rot proofed.
