ABSTRACT:
A tent or tent-like structure which is inexpensive to produce and easily erected comprises a pair of continuous flexible support members or rods, each of which is bent into an approximately semi-circular configuration when the structure is assembled. The structure includes a substantially square base and four lateral faces to form a substantially pyramidal shaped canopy. Each end of each support member is retained by one of four retaining boots, each retaining boot affixed to the canopy adjacent to the base. Each support member is further retained by an apical retaining loop and a pair of lateral retaining loops located equidistant from the apical retaining loop and linearly arranged therewith. Tents according to the invention may be manufactured from suitable materials and of suitable size to render them fit for a wide range of purposes from a toy for a small child to a shelter for one or more adults. Methods of making such tent-like structures are also disclosed.
