This manual describes the setting of a yurt. For pitching we use a single centre pole. Even though this manual basically describes the steps to pitch a TORTUGA yurt the steps to pitch TROLL or RAINBOW are roughly the same. In particular we here describe the setting of a [http://www.jurtenland.de/shop/Jurte-600-cm-komplett-KD-38 standard yurt with a diameter of 6m and a sidewall height of 1,65m]. Higher yurts or the supersize yurt can be set up, too, following this manual analogously. | |||

The brackets show the required numbers for the supersize yurt. Instead of the chain you can also use a yurt cross.

Lay the roof tarp outside up, exactly where you want have the yurt pitched (Half tarps or kota panels need to be lashed beforehand). The more accurate you lay out, the more stabile the yurt will stand later.

The bottom end of the pole marks the spot where you place the tent pegs. For staking out in hard soil T-profile stakes are recommended in soft soil you can even use wooden stakes. The pegs should be driven into the ground at least two third of their length. | The bottom end of the pole marks the spot where you place the tent pegs.

Up to this point all steps could easily be done by one single person. With a bit of experience it’s still possible to carry on alone but it would be easier with some helping hands that help you keeping the poles up. | ||
Start with any pole by putting the tip into the D-Ring and bringing it into a vertical position. If there is a second person helping, your partner should start simultaneously on the opposite pole. The next two poles should be ones halfway between the already set up ones and so on. Carry on this way until all 12 (16) poles are set up. | Start with any pole by putting the tip into the D-Ring and bringing it into a vertical position.

Clip the 6 (8) single beams of the yurt chain into the D-Rings of the smoke hole. With D-shackles you can clip into D-ring as well as into eyelets. If your roof tarp is lashed out of single Kota-tarp be sure to always connect two eyelets with one D-shackle. | Clip the 6 (8) single beams of the yurt chain into the D-Rings of the smoke hole.
