Pryamid Tents

Like A-frames, pyramid tents reigned in the days when the only available tent poles were straight. As the name implies, pyramids resemble a miniaturized version of some pharaoh's monument to his ego, with a single central pole supporting the tent's peak. The same disadvantages that have relegated A-frames to the dust bin of tent design have forced retirement onto the pyramid, with one exception: a few pyramidal-shaped, floorless tarps supported by a single central pole can still be seen on occasion.
