Side Cover
You will be hanging the side cover onto the 3/16” cord that has been pre-installed through grommets
under the top cover
valance
(see Diagram XVII).
This cord has been
temporarily
tied off at the door(s). In order to expose this cord you will
need to fold the top cover valance up so that it is out of the way during the installation of the side cover.
Locate the side cover. It will be in a bag made of the same material as the side cover itself. Take the side cover out
1.
of the bag.
Note:
The top of the side cover has the white clips and the bottom has metal grommets.
Two pieces of unfinished lath labeled “door sticker” were clamped in the door frame. These door stickers will be
2.
used when fastening the side cover into the door frame. In order to secure the side cover into the door frame you
will need to loosen the wing nuts as much as you can without removing them.
The side cover will be unrolled starting at the right-hand edge of the door (outside the lattice) going counter-
3.
clockwise. Notice that the end of the side cover has a pouch for a door sticker to slide into
(See Diagram XIX).
Slide the door sticker into the pouch then insert the side cover into the edge of the door frame (between the door
frame and the wooden clamp) until it butts against the bolts
(see Diagram XIX)
and tighten the wing nuts
very
securely
.
Unroll the side cover around the perimeter attaching the nylon clips onto the 3/16” cord as you go. It works best to
4.
have one person unrolling the side cover around the yurt while another clips the side cover onto the cord. You can
be sure the correct side of the cover is facing outward by confirming that the window screens face inward and the
window flaps face outward. To attach the clips onto the cord, simply twist the clip 90 degrees to the left, slip it onto
the cord and twist it back into position making sure the cord “snaps” into the clip on both sides.
(See Diagram
XVIII)
Do not try to clip the side cover onto the steel tension cable.
Notice that the end of the side cover at the left side of the door does
5.
not have a door sticker pouch. The side cover
will get folded around a door sticker and clamped into the door frame. This allows for future adjustments. Pull all
slack in the side cover around the circumference and fold the side cover overlap around a door sticker so that the
excess fabric is between the side cover and lattice wall (or sidewall insulation) as shown on
Diagram XIX.
Hint:
Attaching the excess side cover fabric to the cord before tucking the door sticker into the door frame will help hold
it straight and avoid wrinkles. A tight side cover installation will be more aesthetic and provide a better seal to the
platform.
If you have wall insulation, it helps to slide the insulation piece nearest the door to the side while securing the side
6.
cover into the door frame. You can slide it back after the side cover is secured in place. Now adjust the positioning
of the door sticker for a tight side cover fit before inserting it into the edge of the door frame (between the frame
and the wooden clamp) until it butts against the bolts
(see Diagram XIX)
and then tighten the wing nuts
very
securely
.
Note:
Do not “roll” the side cover around the door sticker.
Check the gap between the grommet strip under the valance (where the cord is installed) and the top of the side
7.
cover. This gap needs to be approximately 1” and consistent all the way around the yurt.
(See Diagram XVII)
Adjust the gap by tightening or loosening the cord until the gap is consistently 1” all of the way around, then tie
the ends of the cord
securely
to the last grommet on the top cover next to the door. Excess cord may be cut and
removed. Melting the end of the cord after cutting will keep it from unraveling.
