ABSTRACT:
A protruding ridge type rain diverter for a foldable roof for a tent, canopy, yurt, or other portable shelter is described, comprising: at least one elongated strip of foldable roof material sealedly attached to the roof along both long sides of the strip thereby forming an elongated pocket, and an elongated substantially transversely incompressible member positioned within each pocket, thereby maintaining each pocket in a protruding position relative to the roof. The position and shape of the pocket(s) facilitate flow of runoff from the roof away from entryway, door, and/or window openings of the portable shelter.
