About Mongol Ger

What is a Ger?
A ger is round, cone-shaped tent. A ger has only one door and no windows. But it has a small opening at the top, called a 'toono'' which allows smoke to go out of the stove's chimney. It is made out of boards with a wool covering so that it is easy to put up and to take down.
How to build a Ger?
Need:
-One stove
-One door
-Boards
-Poles

  1. First, you need to find a nice place that is flat and with good dry soil.
  2. Next, build the floor by using the flat boards that are made for a ger on the ground.
  3. In the middle there is a hole to put the stove in. Sometimes, during the summer time, you don't need to put the floor boards down.
  4. Now, for the wall, you will use a criss-crossed structure that will easily stretch around the ger. Once that is up, the ger's main figure is up. Make sure the door is facing the south.
  5. Next, you will put in the roof. The roof needs between 50-70 poles. You will have to connect the poles from the wall to the centre piece of the roof.
  6. Lastly, you need to put the wool felt over the ger. If it is really cold, you may need to put extra wool felt on the ger or if it is raining you will need to close the smoke hole. Congratulations! You are done.
Isn't it interesting? If you have a chance to build a ger, plz try it. Have fun~
