Traditional Mongolian gers use 1 to 3 layers of felts. Nomads move several times a year based on seasons. 1 layer of felt is about 2cm but varies. Up to 3 are added depending on the season. I’m...

TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Two yurts connected with a corridor

Hi, we're planning a very similar thing, except in the mountains of Mongolia. We should compare notes but our climates are radically different. Our twin gers are 7.2m outer diameter with 6...

TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Lightning rod for a yurt in an open field?

Hi Bob. That sounds terrifying. I assume (and hope) your wife was physically unhurt. There aren’t any codes in Mongolia in the countryside. There might be in the cities for apartments but there’s...

TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Electric sockets in yurts

This is an old thread but I thought I'd add my tuppence worth. We live in a high valley in the Mongolian mountains about 1700m (5500'). It's grassy and there are few sparse trees then 100m to a...

I think there's a limit on attached images, I'll add more here. This is how one of the gers looks inside. We specified 2 windows but we like them so much we'll probably get a 3rd. There's also a 3...
