ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a tent roof construction having a double, hollow, tubular joint. Vertical and side tubes that make up the tent-frame attach to this tubular joint. The improvement allows the tent-frame to be built quickly and without nuts and bolts (thus, allowing assembly and disassembly without tools) by using a second horizontal support tube, a tube which parallels the horizontal support tube of previous roof constructions. This second tube is located directly below the first horizontal support tube, thus allowing the canvas roof cover to be pulled over the first horizontal support tube and attached to the second horizontal support tube. Thus, the roof cover extends over the end of the roof frame and down the sides of the tent. The side covers extend up the inside of the tent-frame and attach to the first horizontal support tube, creating an overlap between the roof and side covers. Water running off the roof cover will now flow down the outside of the side covers, without ever entering the interior of the tent. In this manner, an effective water seal is achieved.
