What maintenance does the yurt need?

A. Very little: As with all tents make sure it is dry before packing it. Store the yurt in a dry place. Do not store the wall sections flat- lean them against a wall. If you lay them on the floor put something under the top ends. Make sure it is securely pegged down at all times. If, after several years use the frame looks a bit dry it should be oiled with Danish oil, or boiled linseed oil. If, after very many years, the canvas begins to leak reproof it with Fabsil or a similar proofing solution. If the yurt is up during prolonged wet weather, light a fire in the stove a couple of times a week to dry the cover thoroughly.  more
