ABSTRACT:
A folding tent for dogs and other domestic animals is provided which is sturdy in structure, convenient to set up and knock down, and substantially rigid when assembled. The tent includes a foldable frame comprising a pair of U-shaped support members pivotally attached to another U-shaped frame member which serves as a base. Each U-shaped support member is pivotable from a folded position to an upright position. The frame includes a set of support rods which are attachable longitudinally between the U-shaped support members in the upright positions. A cover is adapted to fit over the upright U-shaped support members and support rods to provide a protective enclosure. Preferably, the U-shaped support members are pivotally mounted on stabilizer rods extending transversely between the legs of the U-shaped base member which enhance the rigidity of the frame. A plurality of fastening straps are provided on the cover to enable the frame and cover to be firmly secured to the ground.
