Added: July 6, 2007 Rated 5 by 1 readers ( Vote now  1  2  3  4  5  )

The text and illustrations from the 1995 book A complete guide to making a Mongolian Ger by P.R. King has been made available on the web by its author.


"The Mongolian Ger (describing a Mongolian's tent as a yurt may offend his/her national pride) is a versatile dwelling with a proven pedigree, being home to the nomads of central Asia for many centuries. The oldest complete yurt yet discovered was in a 13th century grave in the Khentei Mountains of Mongolia."

This online book takes you through each step of construction of this versatile portable shelter. The parts list includes typical cost of materials (in British Pounds) and suggests the best materials for each component. There is even a section describing the typical Mongolian furniture and room arrangements of the traditional Mongolian Ger.
