Abstract (en)

A tent (10) is described which includes a tension bracing system (12) for increasing the stability of a tent which comprises a flysheet (20), one or more arched poles (14) and guy lines (22). At least one guy line (22) is located on the flysheet (20) at a connecting point (24) adjacent to an arched pole (14) and between a midpoint (34) and an end (39) of the arched pole (14). A tensioning member (28) is located such that a first end (30) is arranged for connection at the midpoint (34) of the arched pole (14) and a second end (36) is arranged at the connecting point (38). In this way, a line of tension (40) is created between the midpoint (34) and a pegged out position (26) of the guy line (22) through the connecting point (24, 38). A symmetrical arrangement of a pair of tensioning members (28) at an arched pole (14) is described.
