Abstract
A portable canopy shelter assembly is provided. The portable canopy shelter assembly includes a canopy that is dimensioned and adapted to engage a center pole and a plurality of outer poles. Adjustable tension members are provided for structural support through engaging the outer poles and peripheral edges of the canopy in an open condition. Attachment points connect the peripheral edges and the outer poles through a sandwiched pin configuration. The poles are collapsible, and so the canopy can be folded and rolled up in a storage condition enveloping the poles and the adjustable tension members into a kit dimensioned and adapted to fit in a backpack.
