Abstract
An outdoor shelter comprising a sheet member ( ) having a generally rectangular-shaped portion and a slit ( ) extending from a first corner ( ) of the sheet member ( ) to the central region ( ) of the sheet member ( ). The slit ( ) defines separated opposing edges, which are equipped with complementary means ( ) for selectively securing the edges together. The edges define a first fold line ( ) when secured together by the securing means ( ). A third securing means ( ) is disposed on a second fold line ( ) extending from the central region ( ) to a second corner ( ) of the sheet member ( ) adjacent the first corner ( ). The third securing means ( ) is complementary to the securing means ( ) to enable the second fold line ( ) to be secured to one of the edges of the slit ( ). By selectively securing the securing means ( ) to each other or the third securing means ( ), the sheet member ( ) can be configured to achieve a variety of shelter configurations.
