ABSTRACT:
A base bracket (10) for tents and poles is provide having a first orifice (14) for accepting a tent stake (20), a second orifice (16) for accepting an end (42) of a tent pole (24), and an tent fabric attachment mechanism (18). The tent fabric attachment mechanism (18) includes capability for adjusting tension and taking up slack in straps (26) attached to tent fabric (28). If desired, the bracket (10) 7 may be permanently attached to tent straps to prevent misplacement and loss. Options of the bracket (10) include a tent option attachment mechanism (34), for attaching common tent options like canopies and rain flies, and shaping and structurally enhancing the region (40) around the tent pole orifice (16) to better accept stresses transferred by an assembled tent into the bracket (10).
