The Ger Frame 

When buying you ger be sure to realise the significant differences in what is being offered. Authentic look, inclusion of the special features, quality materials, lasting craftsmanship and attention to detail are what make our yurt exceptional value.

The Ger Frame

Walls – Khana or Han
The walls come in collapsible sections that tie together with the traditional black ties. Made from sweet chestnut stripped and steam bent to give the characteristic gentle curve and are tied together to form the trellis.  The chestnut is oiled to finish.


Roof poles - Un or uni

Above the trellis the long chestnut roof poles join at the crown.  Each end is shaped to fit the mortise in the crown and the other hand has a bridle to slide over the han tops.


Crown – Tono

Made from solid oak the crown is made with the traditional 8 spoke Mongol design.  The outer ring contains the mortices for the uni to attach to it. Each crown is lovingly prepared, finished in oil or painted and it is the crowning glory of the ger.


Doorframe – Haddagh
The sturdy door frame is made from Flanders pine to give strength without being overly heavy.  Each frame has no less than 8 steel rings to attach the various ropes necessary for a real ger.  The dimensions are the same as found in Mongolia which mean the door frame does not stick up above the wall and destroy the beautiful profile our yurts have. Most of our customers ask for a wooden door to fit this frame.  Our doors are made by a time served carpenter to a very high standard.


Bagana

With the 18 foot ger we supply as standard the bagana. Two long poles with beech tops that attached to the crown with special white ties. The bagana are there to support the crown and enable it to be pitched with ease.  If required we can supply these with the smaller ger.


Whatever cover you choose the frame is the same high quality as described above.

Yurt Workshop Customer Comments

Richard Everiss, Yorkshire Planetarium:

The Ger itself is simply a thing of understated beauty. Adapted to meet my requirements it could have been a disaster but the care and attention which has been lavished on it during its construction is evident. Rather like finding a smooth pebble on a beach, so Robert and his wife Ratna have handcrafted a building that is wonderful to touch and feels naturally balanced.
