At the most basic level, one might say a yurt is a glorified tent – but a yurt is really much more. The Mongols live in them year round and tend to prefer them to other forms of housing. See history.
The original designs of these structures involved five basic elements: lattice walls, roof beams, a roof ring, a door, and a felt or hide covering. When put together, it created a simple round wooden latticework frame with a combination of felt and sheep skin covering the outside depending on the season.
