Note also that the tent is equipped with a groundsheet 5, which, with the inner wall 3, defines a room in the tent.

Referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that a large part of the inner wall 3 is an air-permeable zone 7.

It will also be observed that the outer wall 2 has two openings 9, these openings 9 also being formed in the upper part of the outer wall 2 so that the openings 9 face the air-permeable zone of the inner wall 3.

These openings 9 which are shown schematically can be opened or closed at will.

The frame generally consists of hoops over which the wall is stretched. In the usual way, the tent may also include a part in which two walls, namely an inner wall and an outer wall are superposed. In such a case, the inner wall together with a groundsheet defines a closed space which forms a room. The inner wall consists at least in part of an air-permeable textile material. This air-permeable part is generally situated in the upper part of the tent. The outer wall is made of a completely impermeable material, a...
