Where should I place my yurt?
Avoid exposed, windy areas and overhanging trees, as they increase maintenance. Opt for a site with good airflow to prevent damp and help the yurt dry quickly. Ensure the yurt door is positioned away from any pavilion wind direction.
What kind of base should I build?
A raised circular timber base overlaid with planks (with 3 mm gaps) is ideal. A circular base sized to the yurt, with a 75 mm upstand, tucks under the canvas skirt, preventing water ingress.
