Abstract: A six sided shelter unit is disclosed in which a fabric covering is disposed around a support assembly and held in place by a top assembly. The support assembly comprises ribs and support legs which cooperate to shape the fabric into a suitable shelter and the top assembly includes a hinge assembly which allows the shelter to be opened by way of two pivoting gate legs. The two gate legs are constructed to swing back over other support ribs and legs so as to provide an especially wide opening.
