Yurt serves as a feeding station for yaks at Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo

The feeding station looks like a Mongolian yurt and remains stable even though the yaks, weighing around 700 kg, use the larch columns as trees for rubbing. In total, 140 T-JOINT D20s ensure stability for the feeding pavilions in the yak enclosure of the Munich Zoo. The trick here: the high static load capacity of the T-Joint provides maximum load-bearing capacity for small timber cross-sections even so with a small number of screws provides maximum load-bearing capacity for small timber cross-sections despite a small number of screws.The trick here: thanks to the high static load capacity of the T-Joint, the maximum load-bearing capacity is achieved for small timber sections, even with a minimum number of screws.
