Claim:
1. A tent apparatus comprising: foot pipes, a first pair of said foot pipes opposably positioned with respect to a second pair of said foot pipes in a geometric configuration; at least two beam members, a first of said at least two beam members positioned perpendicular to said first pair of said foot pipes and removably fastened to upper ends of said first pair of said foot pipes, and a second of said at least two beam members positioned perpendicular to said second pair of said foot pipes and removably fastened to upper ends of said second pair of said foot pipes; a plurality of girders positioned perpendicular to said at least two beam members and removably fastened at predefined intervals to said at least two beam members, each of said girders comprising a pair of internal guide rails on its bottom surface, said pair of internal guide rails extending from one end of each of said girders to other end of each of said girders, each of said girders further comprising a pulley attached to its bottom surface, each of said pulleys configured to rollably traverse from said one end of each of said girders to said other end of each of said girders; each of said pulleys comprising a handle, a receptor member and a pair of wheel members, one of said pair of wheel members located within and in rolling communication with one of said pair of internal guide rails, another of said pair of wheel members located within and in rolling communication with another of said pair of internal guide rails, said receptor members are one of an opening and a threaded bore hole, said receptor members positioned within a bottom portion of said handle of said each of said pulleys comprises one of a threaded bore hole and an opening, wherein said threaded bore hole and said opening are configured to encircle a circumferential wall of one of a plurality of cloth tubes when said one of said plurality of cloth tubes is inserted inside said threaded bore hole and said opening; each of said cloth tubes positioned within said receptor members of said pulleys that are adjacently located, each of said cloth tubes positioned perpendicular to said girders, each of said cloth tubes configured to move from said one end of said girders to said other end of said girders when said adjacently located pulleys rollably traverse within said internal guide rails from said one end of said girders to said other end of said girders, each of said cloth tubes configured to position a canopy in an accordion configuration; and said canopy folded around said cloth tubes, said canopy fixedly attached to one of said at least two beam members and in sliding communication with said girders, said canopy configured to be stretched across said upper ends of said first pair of said foot pipes and said second pair of said foot pipes when said cloth tubes move from said one end of said girders to said other end of said girders.
