ABSTRACT:
This invention is a very lightweight vertical wall tent including a waterproof cover or rain fly that can be erected or pitched by one person alone to form a semi-rigid roof-like structure with two identical rectangular planar surfaces each sloping at the same angle away from and symmetrically about a horizontal ridge, the rain fly held completely clear of the ground surface and in a fully functioning and stable position solely by single vertical ridge-end poles and guy ropes at each end of the ridge and by eight corner guy ropes, two at each of the four corners of the rain fly, all corner guy ropes connecting the corners of the rain fly to suitable anchors set in or on the surface on which the tent is pitched, prior to raising and supporting the ridge ends of the rain fly on the ridge-end poles, the corner guy ropes of the rain fly being adjustable and preset to specific lengths and their corresponding anchors being set at precise locations predetermined with respect to the final desired position of the erect rain fly, the erected rain fly then providing both shelter and the structural support for an enclosed box-like fabric chamber, referred to as a canopy, that is suspended from and beneath the rain fly and held in a fully functioning configuration entirely by the rain fly after the rain fly has been erected.
