Abstract
A double walled tent is supported by outwardly leaning pairs of arches and an interconnecting flexible ridge member. The ridge member is associated with the outer wall or cover, so that the outer wall may be tensioned to form the shelter. An inner wall or cover is suspended from the outer wall by netted webbing which allows circulation between the walls.
