What is the point of a yurt?

Yurts are an ancient form of portable shelter structure. Originating thousands of years ago in the steppes of central Asia, these dwellings were originally used by nomadic people of the region. There are two major types of traditional yurts – the Ger and the so called “Stani” yurts.

On average, a basic yurt will last anywhere from 8 to 15 years. The wooden frame of the yurt can last much longer than 15 years, but the weak spot is the canvas covering. It’s longevity depends on the amount of solar exposure, humidity and maintenance by the owner.
