Folding Ridge Pole: one solution

[Sutoris]

The stand alone frame you use seems very well made and I am sure it works well, but I really wonder if it is really necessary when the same tent could be held up simply by vertical poles.

@Crispvs:I made the stand alone frame after an event where I had to erect a tent and a awning without any help.
It took me 90 minutes of balancing, mathematics and a lot of sweat :roll:


The larger Roman tents ridge poles might have been a difficult carry for a mule so it is possible they used some multi section ones.

That would be my idea to (if I was a Roman).
