In order to cope with shortages, the people of Central Asia have built their home with natural products such as wood, the wool of sheep or camels, and leather. The yurt is probably the most ecological dwelling that exists.
The yurts are composed of the wooden walls, the sticks of the roof, poles, and door. As insulation material, Mongolian people use compressed sheep wool. To protect the yurt from the rain, Mongolian nomadic people use a cotton canvas that covers the entire yurt.

Walls
The walls of the yurt are called khanaa in the Mongolian language. They look like giant baby gates, or accordions, that open out or fold flat. The walls are criss-crossed lattices made of wood. The knots that hold the lattices of wood together are made of leather.
These walls are assembled and pinned to form a circle, leaving room for a door frame. The ends of the khana that adjoin the door need to be straight; this means that the last few pieces on each end will not be full-length.
The standard height of our walls is 1.80 meters. The lattices have a length of 2.55 meters, have a thickness of 1 centimeter, and a width of 3 centimeters.
