Colorado Yurt Lattice Wall
The Colorado Yurt lattice wall is made from clear, vertical grain Douglas fir. Each piece of lattice in the yurt wall is smoothly machine sanded to exactly 1-½” wide x ½” thick. This gives the wood a very finished look and a perfect rivet connection where the lattice pieces cross. The lattice wall of the yurt is fastened at one-foot intervals with pull rivets and stainless steel back-up washers. The wall can expand and contract like a baby-gate. Fully expanded, the height of the yurt wall is 5’-10” for a Standard Height Yurt or, 6’-9” for the optional Taller Wall Yurt.
