  • Tent fly apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4709718
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel rain fly for a tent wherein the rain fly is readily mountable/demountable to the tent through a unique spar system and lanyard system. The spar is flexible and can be formed from segments so as to reduce the overall size of the tent rain fly when the rain fly is in its folded configuration. The length of the spar is sufficient to provide a unique gable/eave over the door/window of the tent.
