TOONO: The toono really is just one big, beautiful compression ring that each layer of tension converges into and radiates out of. It's where the earth meets the sky, and the spirits connect to the greater universe.
The yurt comes from Mongolia with (8) windows.
- Three of them are covered with basic clear vinyl
- One is an opening for a basic stove pipe (simple sheet of metal).
- The remaining 4 windows are left open for ventilation purposes. (meaning there are no inserts)
The toono is opened and closed with an insulated urgh (top flap) that is secured and operated with 4 outside ropes. Each yurt comes with an urgh.
| Flashing Size |
3W & 4W Gers | We highly encourage that you choose your stove before adding a chimney flashing. We install a 4” flashing, but the chimney pipes on tiny stoves vary in size, and as such, the flashing may need to be modified. If you have a 4 Wall yurt and choose to install a regular 6” stove pipe, ask about our round support option. |
5W, 6W & Super Gers | We install a flashing with an 8” flashing - a 6” pipe with 1” of insulation |
7W & 8W Gers | We install a flashing with a 10” flashing - 6” pipe with 2” of insulation |
Mosquito Netting 1/2 Toono:
Living in a wooded area where mosquitos are a pesky nuisance? This option might be for you!
The mosquito netting is installed with Velcro; that way you can easily put it on and take it off or switch it with something else, depending on the season.
The front half of the toono is covered and sealed with acrylic and can be fitted with a chimney flashing for the passage of a stove pipe. The back half of the toono is open and can be covered with mosquito netting that is secured with Velcro.
The full acrylic toono has two window openings in the back of the yurt for ventilation and roof access. The other acrylic pieces are sealed to avoid water entry. We do our best to seal the windows, but they are not as sealed as the closed acrylic pieces. It is still recommended to cover the acrylic with the insulated top flap (urgh) to ensure water does not enter and to reduce the condensation and ice build up, especially in heavy wind and rain.
Clear vinyl urgh with or without chimney sleeve:
Optimal weather protection in cold weather, strong winds and heavy rain is still only achieved with the insulated top flap (urgh). The clear vinyl urgh is available with and without a chimney opening.
If you opt to heat your yurt with a wood stove, the stovepipe must be insulated to work with our sleeve. An 8” diameter pipe will fit a standard chimney sleeve and can be cut to fit. The maximum operating temperatures for the sleeve are between 500°F(260°C) and 1000°F(540°C).
