ABSTRACT:
A tent system having at least three tents, with each tent being free standing. Each of the tents is arranged about the perimeter of a common area, and, in a most preferred embodiment, each tent is arranged in a substantially uniform manner about the perimeter of the common area. Each of the tents has a front and rear wall and side walls with the front wall provided with a horizontally disposed eave line. Each of the tents is provided with an awning like structure which is secured to the front wall of each tent along the horizontally disposed eave line and which extends outwardly over the common area to form a section of a roof assembly, with the roof assembly covering a substantial portion of the common area. Each roof section is releasably secured to its adjacent roof section and this may be accomplished by means of a zipper, "Velcro" fastening tape or, snap fasteners and the like. In order to strengthen the roof assembly it is preferred that a sleeve be provided in one of the mating edges of a roof section, the sleeve extending substantially the length of the edge for receiving a reinforcing member such as a pole. The tent system also includes an enclosure which runs between adjacent tents and surrounds the common area to limit access thereto, with at least one of the enclosures being hingedly secured to a corner of one tent and releasably secured to the opposite corner of an adjacent tent to allow for the exit and entry into the common area from the area outside.
