Tips to Keep Your Yurt Warm During Winter Days
Winter days brings a unique charm, but keeping your yurt cozy in the cold can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are several smart and creative ways to retain heat and enhance comfort.
Here are some handy tips:
1. Use of (Gas Station) Coal:While using a heater is an obvious choice, the type of fuel can make a significant difference. While wood stoves generate heat quickly, using coal, such as gas station coal, can provide a longer-lasting heat release. A good tip is to burn this coal in the evening, allowing you to enjoy warmth throughout the night.
2. Insulation with Curtains: Hang curtains around the walls of the yurt as an additional insulation layer. This not only helps in retaining heat but can also serve as a decorative element. Below, you can see a photo from our customer who have implemented this idea.
3. Close the 'Urgh': A simple but effective way to keep out the cold wind is to close the 'urgh'. By minimizing drafts, you avoid disruptions to the warmth inside. You might be concerned about limited daylight, but this can be done selectively, especially during the dark hours.
4. Install a Rain Cover in Front of the Door: Placing a rain cover in front of the door offers numerous advantages. Besides keeping out rain, it prevents cold winds from entering through the doors and windows. Some people use the rain cover as a kind of summer porch and a foyer for storing coats and shoes in the winter. Below are some examples. Let your creativity do the work.
With these clever tips, you can transform your yurt into a warm sanctuary during the winter months. Whether you choose a heater, curtains, or a rain cover, creating a comfortable and warm atmosphere in your yurt is within reach.
