Strut and arch structure for tent

A tent shelter comprising:

• a plurality of fabric walls which intersect to form corners;
• a center arch pole for erecting the shelter such that the corners are substantially vertical, the center arch pole defining an arch plane when the shelter is erected and the corners being spaced from the arch plane when the shelter is erected;
• fabric-supporting structures at the corners, each fabric-supporting structure comprising first and second substantially stiff strut legs associated with a respective corner, each leg comprising a top end and a bottom end;
• the first strut leg being integrated with one fabric wall adjacent its respective corner so as to be substantially coplanar therewith;
• the second strut leg being integrated with the other fabric wall adjacent its respective corner so as to be substantially coplanar therewith;
• the top ends of the strut legs converging when the shelter is erected into close proximity at an upper portion of its respective corner;
• the bottom ends of the strut legs being spaced apart when the shelter is erected;
• and,
• a guy line extending from the shelter proximate a portion of each corner to tension the corner against the center arch pole at a non co-planar angle to the arch plane when the shelter is erected.
