Step 10Steps of Setting it Up
1. Smoke ring. Put the smoke ring in the middle. It's bad Mongol luck to carry it through the door or lift over the wall.
2. Door frame. Assemble it.
3. Wall Lattice. Spread it out in a circle and tie it to the door frame.
4. Shoulder cord. Tie it around the wall to keep it from spreading too far.
5. Rafters. Insert a lattice thumb in the cord loop and insert the other end in a hole in the smoke ring. Install three widely spaced rafters first to support the smoke ring.
6. Smoke ring. I wrote numbers 1-8 next to each hole and the same # on the correct lattice thumb. That makes it easier to not get crossed up.
7. Tie the two odd rafters to the top of the door frame
8. Shoulder band. You might prefer to put it on now, or after the linings. Try it both ways.
9. Roof lining. Throw that over the top and hook the drawstring over the wall. You could also sew the walls to the roof part and install them both at once.
10. Wall lining. Wrap it around the walls, At the door you can either have flaps or wrap it around the sides of the door and secure it inside.
11. Outer wall cover. Do the same as the lining. Line the door flap up with the door frame.
12. Outer roof cover. Throw it over the top and tighten the drawstring around the edge.
13. Halter. Throw some ropes over the top to keep the whole thing together and keep it from blowing away. If you're an observant Mongol you'll use weights instead of pegs so as to not stab mother earth.
14. Smoke hole cover. Use your umbrella or a small tarp with long cords from the corners as you see fit.
15. Enjoy your cozy yurt!
