What a wonderful post! Thanks Melissa for the connections!
Rumbaba, if you want to keep it simple, one of the easiest thing is to:
- run your pipe through one of your toono (dome) openings and seal it as well as you can - it is a good good idea to use an insulated pipe going through the toono if your ger is 5-walls or less (6m diameter or less = a certain size of toono). I love

Surely Yurts

design. You can insulate only the part that goes though the toono. Or at least fix a thin metal flashing on the closest wood parts
- seal each of the openings adjacent to the one that has the pipe going trough. Use clear vinyl or even a few pieces of cut glas and silicone, or clear tape in the worst case
- turn your urgh (top flap) so that when it is unfolded, one of the sides ends a couple inches from the pipe, but covers over the sealed openings

I hope this small drawing can help. There are more elegant ways to seal your toono safely, but this one is the easiest if you're not too handy :-)


hope this helps
