The Complete Yurt Handbook Tapa blanda – 1 Julio 2002

de Paul King (Author)
4.4 de 5 estrellas 148 calificaciones

The yurt or ger is a low-impact structure that causes no permanent damage to the land on which it is pitched. It is easy to erect and can be taken down in an hour. It is cool in summer and, with a stove, warm in winter. For centuries, people throughout central Asia have made yurts their homes. Robust and versatile, the yurt has evolved into the ultimate portable dwelling.

Yurts are perfect for offices, summer houses, meditation spaces, spare rooms, or just beautifully satisfying spaces to be in! Join the thousands of North Americans who are discovering the many virtues of the yurt.

Part One of the book delves into the history of the yurt and the principles behind its construction, and explores modern life in a Mongolian ger and the culture and etiquette of ger living.

Part Two gives fully illustrated and detailed instructions on how to make several of the most popular types of yurt, including the "weekend yurt." With a few common wood-working tools, even an absolute beginner could build the frame for this simple, elegant structure.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Yurts are mobile, affordable & adaptable, even for modern applications
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 13 de octubre de 2011

    This is the most comprehensive and informative of the books written about Yurts. The introduction includes historical & cultural background ingo. Another section of the book includes simple, how-to-build plans and details for building several styles & sizes of yurts / gers.
    The Yurt is a distinctively Central Asian building design that was adapted to the nomadic lifestyle of tribes in Mongolia to Kurdistan & N. Afghanistan. Historically, its lattice frame for the 5' high circular vertical exterior wall can be collapsed and moved by camels. It can also be adapted to seasons with thick felts during winter & lighter fabric in warmer seasons that allow breezes into the yurt interior. This allows the Yurt to provide shelter much superior to a tent. With wooden roof joists that can sustain snow-loads and wind forces,compression bands of rope bound the traditional yurt 'lattice rings' allowing these to support the roof structure. This ingenious but elegant structural design, from locally-available materials (wood, felt, leather, rope), made the Yurt a common nomadic design for centuries throughout Central Asia. Also, these one-'room' dwellings can be built as large as 30'D. Even today, yurts can provide 'modular' or temporary programming needs for rural areas of Central Asia (schools, refugee camps, recreational shelter, etc.)

    5.0 de 5 estrellas "Complete," indeed!
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 19 de marzo de 2012

    "The Complete Yurt Handbook" is a treasure trove of facts and information about this traditional structure. Contained within are all the instructions, measurements, and material lists you'll need to create three different types of yurt in multiple sizes, as well as many interesting facts.

    The first half of the book focuses on the yurt/ger itself, and the culture that spawned it. It discusses the traditional living arrangement inside the ger, the cultural and spiritual reasons for this layout, and remarks on traditional construction styles. It talks about the social life of yurt dwellers, customs (the list of "yurt dos and don'ts" was quite informative), and even gives a recipe or two.

    The second half of the book focuses on all the technical things you need to actually build one yourself, but in a non-technical manner. Very complete instructions, including diagrams, accompany lists of materials and measurements, but everything is written in a way that a weekend craftsman can understand.

    I love this book; it's a must-have for anyone interested in a new way of camping, or a better way of living.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas cool book
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 13 de septiembre de 2013

    I can't help but think of this slender volume as a glorified pamphlet, but :superlative: does it make good use of the space!

    I believe it has been mentioned elsewhere that this book has two parts:
    First: an overview of Mongolian history & culture as it relates to the yurt (or ger, as they apparently actually call it. Some words get damaged when a new culture adopts them.) & apparently Mongolian culture does revolve around their yurts.
    Second: detailed directions on how to build a yurt in three different manners. This contains four subs-sections: general/universal yurt-construction guidelines, details for a Mongolian style yurt, details for a *-istan style yurt, & details for a "weekend" yurt which is apparently super-easy to make & use, at the loss of some strength.

    I have only made it as far as part-way through the Mongolian style yurt. It makes for lighter bed-time reading than a linux tutorial, but at that time of day anything vaguely math-related sinks into my head like oil to the bottom of a lake.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Small book, but packed with great information
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 24 de marzo de 2025

    This is a fairly small book, and I was skeptical when I bought my first copy, but it has comprehensive information on constructing yurts from scratch and even some tips on adapting materials available in industrial nations to use in place of traditional yurt coverings, such as using wool carpet underlayment as insulation instead of the traditional felt sheets. Bear in mind that yurts evolved in an extremely arid environment and are not suitable for most of North America or Europe without summer air conditioning to lower the humidity. This is easily accomplished by installing a back-pack mini split a/c unit which can be powered by a small ground mount solar array and minimum 400 amp hour battery. Though 800 amp hours allows for more power use in summer, if you can afford the extra batteries.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas I am extremely satisfied with this book
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 4 de febrero de 2017

    I am extremely satisfied with this book. It provides in-depth details on the construction of traditional Mongolian yurts. However, it not only describes yurt construction, it also goes into great detail about the Mongolian way of life. I graduated College with a Bachelors degree in Aviation and a Minor in Cultural Studies. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this book holds a wealth of information regarding the Mongolian people. To me, this book earned every bit of the 5 star review. It covers more than one topic and it is very easy to read. The drawings and diagrams are good too. Much thanks to author Paul King.

    3.0 de 5 estrellas Meh
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 30 de enero de 2015

    After reading some of the other reviews about this book, I guess I was a bit underwhelmed with the information I took out of it. He focuses 95% on the building of traditional Mongolian yurts, and half of that was an explanation of the customs and culture associated with them. I read the whole thing in a couple hours, and the only redemptive quality that gives it 3 stars is that at the very end of the book, he FINALLY gives you a detailed material list for construction. If I decide to build my own yurt, I will need to buy another book with more detailed instructions.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Tent or Yurt, what is better ?
    Calificado en Alemania el 5 de septiembre de 2013

    Mr. King gives a good overview, how the Yurt is used by nomadic people in Mongolia and also by many, who nowadays live in cities, but prefer, to live in a Yurt.
    And he also describes in clear terms, how a Yurt is constructed.
    A Yurt seems to be a good alternative for a conventional tent.
