Abstract
A convertible tent comprises an inner canopy (,) having a window (,) and a flysheet or outer canopy (,) spaced above and covering the inner canopy. The flysheet has a window (,P) in alignment with the canopy's window. The canopy's window can be closed with either a solid (,) or a net panel (,). This window has, around its edge, a row of zipper teeth (a zipper chain—,), which teeth mate with respective zipper chains (,) on the solid and net panels. Thus either the solid panel or the net panel can be zipped into the inner canopy's window. A solid panel can also be zipped into the window in the flysheet. The tent can be adjusted for warm, cool, cold, and precipitation conditions from inside by using just the net panel in the inner canopy, just the solid panel of the inner canopy, or the solid panel o the inner canopy and the solid panel of the flysheet.
