What happens here

This step involves lifting and securing the central compression ring, which is a key structural element for the roof. A temporary tripod structure, possibly made of ladders or scaffolding, is used to hoist the heavy ring into place at the center of the yurt. Once the central ring is stable, individual wooden rafters are carefully attached, radiating outwards to connect with the top of the lattice walls and door frames, forming the dome-like roof structure.

Goal: Install the central roof ring and connect all roof rafters.

Tools and materials

  • Ladders — Accessing the upper sections of the yurt during construction
  • Scaffolding — Providing a stable platform for working at height and supporting the central ring
  • Screws/Bolts — Securing the rafters to the central ring and wall components
  • Wooden Rafters Texas Yurt Company — Forming the radial framework of the yurt roof
