ABSTRACT:
A rain fly for use primarily on self-erecting enclosures which enclosures have sleeves for accommodating a wire or monofilament is disclosed. More specifically, this fly is characterized by a pair of monofilaments on the two sides of the fly which go from the front to the rear of the enclosure. The wires are secured interiorly of elongate sleeves at the lateral edges of the rain flap. The wires are proportioned to have their ends inserted into four sleeves flanking the internal wire of the tent. Means are provided for four stabilizers which extend front and rear and side to side. The function of the stabilizer is to assist in holding the fabric in spaced relationship from the enclosure to thereby permit ventilation. Optionally, a zipper-like opening is provided for a door cover, and a Velcro flap for securing one portion of the flap door cover for easy entrance. A crescent-shaped hood depends from each of the wire members at the sides which drops down over the windows of the enclosure thereby permitting the fully assembled fly to ride in spaced relationship away from the underlying enclosure, and yet to be folded into a compact circle when the underlying enclosure itself is folded.
