Our yurts ARE round! A wall is a lattice section that is unfolded like an accordion and connected to the next one in a circle to form the circumference of the yurt. The more sections (walls), the bigger the diameter of the yurt is. Traditionally in Mongolia, most of the yurts have 5 walls. We like to describe the size of the yurt in “walls” as the diameter can vary slightly. Having fewer walls makes it easier to carry or transport, and most often is a stronger structure, having less connections.
