Many hands make light yurt

[@araghothetheprimordialdrag4898]

I was hoping for the full build from making the foundation to making the door, ect. This was nice for what it was though, just not enough information for me.

[@Mr.GG12345]

Good job guys. Even in Mongolia youngsters don’t know how to build the ger. This video is very useful. Thank you very much.

[@ladybird8084]

ok now put your hand out, now open your hand, now put the lattice on top of your hand, now close your hand, congratulations you now have the lattice in your hand.

[@michellemcbeth2261]

Can you glue on Velcro pieces, so you don't have to put weights on top of your yurt? Especially if you have little toddlers and or animals that, weights may fall off and injure a person, or animal. I'm asking bc, I have no idea how heavy or secure the the top of the yurt is.

[@stephaniemitchard]

[@robgroves7424]

Do you need planning permission if u own the land

[@suhailmohamed1513]

[@paulandrews8113]

Are these yurts ovens in the summer?

[@adiyajavkhuu4212]

Yes

[@100musicplaylists3]

how thick is the felt insulation?

[@miikkatoikka5055]

Hi, about to put my yurt up this weekend. When your´re putting the roof poles into the crown. where do you start counting from in the crown?

[@yurttube8417]

1 - Count how many door slots you have and count 2 along from there either left or right of the door. Then count along roughly 14 spaces from your first pole. Double then triple check your all your first pole gaps but especially the first couple. Its best to get in right in the beginning rather than having to move all the poles along. Continue going around the yurt with equal gaps of 12-14 spaces. Then fill in the gaps in the middle. Then once you have good pressure from all around the yurt, your off and you can start putting poles in at will!

[@wd2347]

Hey, why do you put the wall under the roof, is there any reason for it? I just built my own yurt and I did the same the first time and then the wind caught under and lifted the roof. So I redid it and put the wall over the roof as I saw some Mongolian yurts. Thanks for your answer and video :)

[@1101alicia]

Hi, You can do either. If you're not using straps for your felt then you can use the roof felt to weigh down the wall felt. If using straps then you can go under or over. Both works fine. There's no right or wrong way just do what ever works best for you!

[@swadlincotetoolhire3844]

Hi do you sell the equipment to make one of these at all

[@yurttube8417]

Hi, we don't sell equipment we only sell yurts, platforms and compost loos.

Для вашего дождливого климата, монгольская юрта не подойдёт, у монголов купол имеет низкий угол наклона 20-23 градуса, так как у них сухой и ветреный климат. Вам нужно использовать киргизскую юрту у которой купол с высоким углом наклона 40-43 градуса, тогда такую юрту можно использовать стационарно в вашей стране круглый год с учётом обильных осадков. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmjPp5dsh9h3m7c

[@smartmarketqazaqstan4133]

Это юрта монгольская. Казахская юрта больше и выше!
