YURT
A yurt (ger in Mongolian) is a large circular tent made of wool felt
stretched over a wooden frame used by nomadic peoples of the Asian
steppe since before written records began. Yurts are especially
associated with Mongol herders and hunters and were famously used by
such figures as Genghis Khan (r. 1206-1227 CE). Made in various sizes
and even sometimes permanently erected on top of carts for ease of
mobility, yurts have become one of the identifying features of the
nomads who still today carve out a living in the often harsh climate
of the remotest parts of Eurasia.

HOW TO
BUILD
A YURT
Yurts are round, tent-like structures traditionally used in Mongolia
as mobile homes. While yurts are not complex structures, they do
require some general carpentry skills to build and set up. If you are
a beginner, purchase a yurt kit to easily build your structure.
If you’re comfortable with carpentry, search online for yurt building
plans, and make each piece of the structure yourself. With some research
and equipment, you can create your very own yurt.
