Installation
What type of platform
should one use for these yurts ?
Should your plaform be
made of concrete or wood, we recommend to build it circular with a
Several customers
installed their platform on straw bales with a plywood cover; easy, cheap, insulated and ecologic!
Can I install a yurt
directly on he ground?
Sure, there’s no
anchorage needed. Still you’ll have to take a little care of water drainage underneath
the yurt. Install your yurt for example on a big tarp and fold the exceeding
part of the tarp outside the yurt underneath the outside cover.
Can one have windows
or a second door ?
You can order a
certain amount of windows or additional doors, depending on the yurt’s
diameter.
Generally it’s the
tonoo (central dome) and the door which are the source of natural light in Mongolian yurt. This is the reason we
introduced as a standard a double window door frame (together with the main
door) as a standard on all our yurts, allowing to close the yurt and have a
view outside, without compromising too much the original Mongolian look.
How long and how many
people does it take to install a yurt ?
It depends on the size
of the yurt. Generally for a 5-walls yurt it take around half a day to 3 to 4
people to erect it the first time. With a little bit of training one person can
make it in 2 hours and it won’t take longer than 30 min to 3 or 4 Mongolians to
do it!

Can I install a yurt
anywhere ?
Yes, almost! But we generally
recommend breathed areas against more humid places like directly under a tree
or against a bush.
What is the rope in
the center of the tonoo (central dome) used for ?
I case of very strong
winds, Mongolian attach a big stone to this rope to help stabilise the yurt.
You can tighten that rope to a strong ring boted to your platform for example.
Otherwise the rope is placed as a serpentine over the parent’s bed; this is a
symbol of fertility.
