Description: An article about constructing a yurt on your own that includes making the lattice walls, roof beams and fabric exterior cover.
By Ellisif Fkakkari (Monica Cellio) [ed note: this article is also available in The Mongolian yurt, or ger, is a round, nominally portable, self-supporting structure suitable for camping in comfort. It does not rely on ropes or stakes to hold itself up; rather, the walls, rafters, roof ring, and tensioning bands all work against each other, in a marvel of physics and engineering, to keep the structure standing. It is thus an especially appealing structure for camping events where space is at a premium, such as Pennsic, because all of the space it requires provides useful living space -- no extended ropes are required as they are for pavillions.
