Ready To Start
Now you are ready to start setting up the yurt. It is helpful at this point to familiarize yourself with the various components
(see diagram on front cover) and to have read through
the entire
set up sequence so that it is clear and you know what
to expect. A glossary is included in this manual to familiarize yourself with the terms used. All hardware for the yurt is
provided in the hardware box.
1.
Locate your door position(s)
exactly
and mark the center on your platform’s drip edge.
2.
Measure the door threshold length (43 7/8" for standard door and 55 5/8" for French door) and notch out 1” of drip
edge material to this dimension using your mark as center. You are simply cutting the 1” portion of the plywood
drip edge that extends above the interior floor level back down to floor level so the door threshold can overhang the
circular platform. When marking the platform’s drip edge for the door cut-out be sure to measure the width of the
door threshold
straight across
rather than around the curved surface of the platform.
(See Diagram I)
Note:
If you are setting up a yurt with doors at 6:00 & 12:00, be sure the doors are exactly opposite by running a string
through the center point of the circle to the outside perimeter on each side. This is the center line of the doors. To locate
the center of doors located at 3:00 or 9:00 you can measure around the circumference from 6:00 to 12:00. The midpoint
of this measurement is the center of your door.
Assembling the Framework
Lattice Wall
1.
Locate and unwrap the lattice wall. It will be a cylindrical package roughly 24” in diameter and eight feet long. Take
the lattice wall and a helper to the back of the circular platform, opposite to where you want the 6:00 door to be,
and stand the lattice wall on end.
(Note:
Make sure the lattice wall is right side up! The bottom of the lattice wall
is easily identified by the bolts that have been installed for the anchoring straps.) Also, note that there is an inside
and an outside. The outside is the side with the holes in the middle of the rivets, while the inside has no holes in the
rivets.
2.
Carefully undo the straps around the lattice wall and stretch it out around the perimeter of the circular platform
(just inside the drip edge),
making sure to keep it stable as you proceed. (Safety note: Be careful of pinch
points while extending lattice wall.)
3.
Leave about 4 ft. for the door opening. The lattice wall will be secured to the platform after the door is in place.
