A tent is a portable, circular shelter made of fabric or skin. It is used by nomads and campers for temporary housing, weather protection, and events.
Tents are made of fabric over a frame. Frames can be flexible poles or rigid poles and ropes. Dome tents have rigid pole frames shaped like domes. Other tents have flexible poles that can be curved or straight. Vestibules give extra storage space and cover tent doors.
Yurts and gers are Central Asian tent shelters with circular floor plans. The door of a yurt should not face the wind. Place the side with the strongest poles into the wind.
Modern buildings lack views of nature. Tent hotels combine temporary outdoor tents with amenities for a weekend getaway like glamping.
