Help With Waterproofing My Yurt Crown??

[Redwilson]

Hi All,

My first time to this forum, so thanks for having me.

I have a Mongolian Yurt here on my land in Abiquiu, New Mexico that is leaking around the crown. I wonder what you all might suggest for waterproofing this thing?? I have tried various sealants, and even cutting tiny pieces of wood to then screw onto the spots that are leaking. And, it is still leaking.

This yurt was hand carved by Mongolian artisans and shipped from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It's a beautiful traditional piece, though, lacks proper sealing around the crown... which has been a huge challenge for me.

I've been told that finding a

dome

cover (that fit my crown dimensions) may be a solution?? Any other suggestions?? I'm happy to send exact measurements, and more info, pics, if needed.

Thank you in advance, and hope to find the solution before monsoon season hits out here.
Best, Aimee Wilson
