- The present invention comprises an improved portable yurt structure facilitating convenient assembly. Conventional portable yurts comprise expandable matrix lattice wall sections and roof poles anchored to a roof ring, along with a covering. The present invention comprises a yurt including a vertical post for connecting two adjacent lattice wall sections. The vertical posts connecting the lattice wall sections create the perimeter of the yurt. The vertical posts further include a first slot near their top ends, a second slot near their bottom ends and a plurality of intermediate slots spaced evenly along their lengths. A topmost corner of a lattice wall is received in the first slot and a bottommost corner of a lattice wall is received in the second slot. The sides of the lattice wall section comprising hinged ends of pivoting members are individually received in the intermediate slots. Once received in the slots, the movement of a lattice wall section is restricted in one direction, maintaining the height of the yurt walls during assembly.
- Each vertical post further includes a groove near its top end for receiving a roof pole. In one preferred embodiment, a locking pin is used to secure the roof pole after it is received in the groove. In another preferred embodiment, a roof ring is included with grooves for receiving the poles. The present invention is further comprised of laminated wood to reduce the weight and improve the strength of the yurt.
