Claim:
A tent frame comprising at least one support frame, each said support frame including: a rigid side support member being elongated between a lower end and an upper end; a rigid roof support member being elongated between a proximal end and a distal end; a rigid link member being elongated between a first end portion and a second end portion, and having a body portion positioned between the first end portion and the second end portion; the body portion being pivotally coupled to each of the upper end and the distal end and the side support member and the roof support member are positioned at an angle to each other such that the support frame has an inner side and an outer side; the first end portion being positioned outwardly from the outer side and a first tension member deflector is positioned thereon; the second end portion being positioned outwardly from the inner side and a second tension member deflector is positioned thereon; a first tension member having a first end and a second end, the first end being fixed to the proximal end of the roof support member, and the second end being adjustably fixed to the lower end of the side support member such that a portion of the first tension member is positioned on the first tension member deflector; and a second tension member having a first end and a second end, the first end being fixed to the proximal end of the roof support member, and the second end being adjustably fixed to the lower end of the side support member such that a portion of the second tension member is positioned on the second tension member deflector; wherein shortening a length of the first tension member and lengthening a length of the second tension member permits an upward vertical adjustment in the position of the proximal end of the rigid roof support member.
