The yurt is an ingenious structure. Developed by ancient Mongolians, every detail of its design provides efficiency and strength. The lattice walls are made to bundle together into a light-wight sheet of wood when not in use. The low, cone-shaped roof easily holds up against the pressure of snow in winter. The circular shape of the entire yurt is resistant to wind as the air moves around the structure.
They are also very cozy! The inside space is designed to keep all the warm air from a wood stove or heater inside. A much appreciated feature in the cold winters of Maine!
