Well, following on from my last Post I can now say, a hell of a lot longer than before… I have just commenced manufacturing my own canvas to specific qualifications with the expressed intension of addressing the harsher climate and environmental demands of the central coast region. Hot, Wet and Windy. This canvas will be 485gsm Polycotton 65% x 35%, treated with anti-bacterial and waterproofing agents, it is also Fire retardant which will add an enormous benefit to those wishing to go down the road of getting DA approval for the larger ones I have. This is all good news and offers greater appeal to those who are spending some thousands of dollars to get their Yurt. I expect it to put an extra 5 years on the life of the average quality canvas that I previously used, which for some still holds a satisfactory condition especially the dark green which has stood up very well.
This new canvas will be available in 3 new colours, Beige, Brown and Mid-green to distinguish it from the other quality. To view the pricing go into ‘Current Prices’ in Purchasing your Yurt.

Well Savaad,
We sure did get our yurt. It’s beautiful and we love it. Thanks for all your hard work and I hope it gets easier for you. These are awesome homes or offices, which is what we are using ours for.
Blessings
I’ve written a post about our lovely Yurt with some pictures. Someone has commented already. She seems to think she can’t have one in the mountains, too cold. I suppose she doesn’t understand how cold it gets in Mongolia. Come over and post a comment to her.

I have just returned 10 days ago now, from two and a half months in China and Inner Mongolia to bring back another 40′ FCL container to Australia and a 20′ FCL to New Zealand. This will be the first 10mtr. ones in New Zealand and owned by the Rudolf Steiner School in Dunedin.
I needed to spend much more time there as I now have two factories producing for me in different parts of Inner Mongolia. The manufacturing quality of both needed improving somewhat and that took sometime to arrange and supervise. But I can now be assured of continuing improvements to make our yurts the best available.
In between factory visits I decdied to go traveling and the one Provence that has attracted me for some years is Yunnan in the South West. This was such a good decision to go. So Berenice and I spent 10 fantastic days hiking around Kunming, Dali, Li Jiang, Tiger leaping Gorge and the upper reaches of the Yangsi. Then to Jiang Dian at 4,300mtrs it was clean air, smiling Tibetans and Minority People from all over the region mixing into a cultural soup that was displayed by the brightly colored and decorated costumes. The Buddhist Monasteries and Monks parading around with their twirling prayer wheels and the constant hum of a mantra.
This area of China is so beautiful, relatively unknown and a real eye opener. We enjoyed every step of our way through mountain streams, over ancient rocky bridges to the smells of burning pine woods and incense. Well worth the visit and a needed break from dealing with the business of Yurt Buying.
