Abstract
A tent constructed such that it incorporates a light-weight, single walled, low emissivity fabric or film canopy. In the case of the polymer film canopy, the canopy may be assembled from flat or molded film segments/sections. The light-weight canopy materials may incorporate a grid of reinforcing fibers, wherein the reinforcing fibers are laminated into/onto the film during manufacture of the film/fabric. The light-weight canopy materials, either with or without a grid of laminated reinforcing fibers, may also incorporate additional continuous reinforcing fibers added to the canopy materials during the tent manufacturing process by bonding along the lines of principal stress/load. The possibility of including the continuous fibers along the principal lines of stress/load during the laminating process is also addressed.
