The Mongolian Ger is a simple structure to set up. A quick set up can be done with just two people in half a day. When setting up for the first time additional things will need to be done if you so choose… (treating the lattice, mounting the stove flashing, applying UV protectant). So for the first time give yourself the weekend. There are no carpentry skills required and traditionally no tools necessary (some of our modern modifications require some basic ones). Setting up the yurt is all about balance, patience, tension and symmetry. SunTime Yurts highly recommends that customers do the entirety of the set up process or at least to take part. This is the beginning of your relationship with the structure, which we recommend to be viewed as a living and growing relationship. We provide all our customers with comprehensive set up videos, detailed written instructions and are generally available by phone to answer pertinent questions.
