[[Datei:jurteaufbau1.png|thumb| | [[Datei:jurteaufbau1.png|thumb|prepare everything]] The length of the poles has of course to follow the height of the sidewall. To gain more flexibility the use of adjustable telescope poles (basher pole) is recommended. The usual height, using the double square tarps, is 1,65m. In conjunction with the window panels or the super square- or super double square-tarp you can reach a height up to approx. 2,05m. | ||
Take the poles and place them tip to D-ring (roof with eaves) respectively eyelet (roof without eaves). Place the poles on the before mentioned imaginary extension of the seam line pointing towards the centre of the fire hole. | Take the poles and place them tip to D-ring (roof with eaves) respectively eyelet (roof without eaves).

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. | Start with any pole by putting the tip into the D-Ring and bringing it into a vertical position.

Once all sidewall tarps are connected the yurt is as good as finished. Now you can take the chance to readjust the side poles (if necessary) to tighten the side tarps and to secure the tarps with tent pegs (which is half the battle on windy days). | Once all sidewall tarps are connected the yurt is as good as finished.

=== | ===How to get into the yurt=== | ||
Either you leave one compete side tarp out which gains a “regular” entrance or you open just one of the vertical connections. This way you just have to swing one tarp open to get in or out. You can form a triangle shape entrance by tying the bottom corner with a cord to the tip of a side pole. | |||
=== | ===Do you need a roof cap for the smoke hole?=== | ||
The yurt is a genuine fire tent and the smoke takes off the best through a wide open smoke hole. Vice versa some rain may easily drop into the tent (mostly onto the fire place). If this doesn‘t bother you the yurt is now finished. | |||
=== | ===How to mount the roof cap?=== | ||
The roof cap consists of seven fields and has eight eyelets into which you can tie slim cords (we recommend cheap sisal cords). Having a yurt with a 6 m diameter the lenght of the cords should be approximately 4 - 5 m. | |||
Once the cords are attached you can start pulling the cap to the rooftop. Climb up to theroof top, edge through the smoke hole and tie the cap around the cross lashing spot of the centre poles. | |||
This really sounds like a roundabout way and there is indeed an easy way: | |||
First you have to decide how huge or small the gap between cap and smoke hole should be. Do you want the cap to close the whole smoke hole (as leak proof as possible) or do want it slightly open to gain some ventilation? | |||
The answer causes the decision where you are going to set the lashing point which is ideally the spot where you place the roof cap. | |||
Easiest way to do this is when bring don the roof again. Standing on the ground the smoke hole around your shoulders you can easily tie the cap in. | |||
Ensure that the cords are not tangled, otherwise you‘d have trouble trying reach them from the outside once the roof is pulled up again. | |||
Finally you tie the cords to the anchor lines (taut line hitch) and tighen them. You may have to test which guy line is the right one. Usually it‘s every second cord but this may differ according to the fabric. | |||
[[Datei:videojurteaubau.jpg|thumb| | Pulling the cords to the side you can open the smoke anytime you want to let out the smoke and close it again later. | ||
As with everything in the yurt building, the exercise makes the master and the joy of experimenting shows you the right way for you. | |||
=== Video about pitching up the yurt === | |||
[[Datei:videojurteaubau.jpg|thumb|Pitching up the yurt - on Youtube - http://youtu.be/cS_SNYd1Lck]] Our video on Youtube shows you the basic steps. Thus you can see very clearly how one reaches into the other and how you best approach the structure of your yurt. | |||
