ABSTRACT:
A tent apparatus and method, the tent apparatus including a fabric tent shell having a plurality of side walls joined in seams along adjacent edges and a fabric floor joined to the bottom edges of the side walls. A tent pole-receiving sleeve is formed as an integral part of each seam. The tent shell is supported inside a foldable frame having a plurality of tent poles joined in a coupling at an apex and ribs extending laterally between the tent poles. Each tent pole is inserted in a sleeve and the fabric tent shell is mounted to the foldable frame by a unique cord/pulley system which places the fabric tent shell under tension adjacent the coupling and adjacent the base of each tent pole when the frame is extended while providing ample slack when the frame is folded. The fabric tent shell and foldable frame are thus integrally joined into a unitary, man-portable, and erectable tent structure.
