How to build a ger

Now that summer finally arrived, lots of people in Khovd moved near the river to install their summer ger. We were invited to see how to do.
So, here are some pictures of the different steps :
1. First add the wooden frame. The floor, the wall and the door were already fixed when we arrived.
2. Then, you fix the support columns with the crown. With poles all around the ger, the crown keeps stable.

3. Cover of the ger: first put a net on the lower part of the ger, to avoid the moskitos to enter (only for summer ger).
4. Then, put a thin cotton fabric on the roof and the walls.
5. Add thick felt blankets on the roof and on the walls.

6. The cotton fabric and the felt must be well attached on the top of the ger.
7. Add a white impregnated canvas against rain, which covers the whole ger.
8. Fix everything well with ropes.

Well, basically, it's done, in about 2 hours !
The family has now a new house for the summer !
