The Complete Yurt Handbook

Includes full instructions on how to build your own yurt.

For many centuries, throughout central Asia, the yurt has been home to millions of people. Robust and versatile, the yurt has evolved into the ultimate portable dwelling. These virtues have now been recognised in the West and we now find yurts being used for many purposes.

In two parts: the first deals with the history of the yurt and the principles behind its construction and form. The second gives detailed instructions on how to make several types of yurt, including instructions on how to build your own ‘weekend’ yurt. An excellent book on a fascinating topic.
