Central Column
If you did not purchase this option go to page 32 for installation of dome skylight. If you did purchase the
Central Column you will have noticed that the rafters and center ring are heavier and more difficult to install. The steel
central post is also heavy, so be sure to have several strong people on hand to help with installing it. While building your
platform you should have installed a concrete footing under the center of the floor with a post to support the central
column. The footing and post attachment are to be designed to your site by a local engineer.
Locate and mark the exact center of the yurt.
1.
Bring the steel center column and collar into the yurt. The collar can be identified by the four arms that will support 2.
the center ring
(see Diagram XXII).
Slide the collar onto the column with the arms facing away from the base plate. After sliding the collar to the bottom 3.
of the column, carefully stand the column upright in the center of the yurt. It is heavy and will require several people
to do so.
Using scaffolding, have two or more people carefully slide the collar up into position.
4. Be extremely careful of
pinch points. When the collar is high enough on the column, slide a 5/8” x 6” bolt through a hole in the column
below the collar. This ensures that if someone loses their grip the collar will not fall to the floor and possibly injure
somebody below.
Carefully slip the arms on the collar up into the yurt’s center ring. When the arms are snug against the ring, slip the
5.
other 5/8” x 6” bolt through the collar and column. Lift the center ring slightly if needed to get a snug fit. Install
the second bolt through the collar and column, and then tighten the nuts.
Check the column to be sure it is plumb (vertical) and drill 3/8” pilot holes (in the floor) for the 1/2” x 4” lag bolts. 6.
Secure the base of the central column to the platform using these bolts.
Drill 1/8” pilot holes in the center ring and secure the arms of the steel collar to the center ring using the 1/4” x 2”
7.
lag screws provided
(see Diagram XXII).
