A small, easy A-frame tent for you to make!

Here are some diagrams and instructions for a small, easy A-frame which can be made inexpensively.  Please note that it was not designed by Ravenstead Household.  However, we were given permission for publishing the design information here, making it available on the web.

While raiding er... salvaging a vessel in the Ionian sea (part of the Med.) We the Rhiannon stumbled across this fabric that has writing on it, we can't be sure, but we believe it to be the public celebration of an Egyptian Pharaoh's (Rev-lon) trip to the city of Exo-tica. It fell through so the tapestries were on sale cheep. This information is offered freely and can be republished as long as credit is given to the designers HL Moriah Redstone Graham (MKA Kitiara Lehman) and Morrigan Graham (MKA William Lehman).

The design can also be made shorter for packing by breaking the wood poles in the middle and using metal sleeves to join them. Or we will make tents of this style for material costs plus $100 US. I have no photos, but if anyone does that wants to post them (as was asked by one of the recipients of this) Lay on.
