Tent comparison.png

Tents are a design that can be made from any cone with an even number of sides. By inserting a 4x8 sheet along a line of symmetry, the design can be extended as much as you want. As well as creating life designs, by putting walls underneath the tent roof pieces, a variety of "longhouse" style yurts can be made.

Tents have the same issues as Cones, the biggest problem being the angle of the wall. Having a slope makes it very difficult and impractical to add a door. Quadratents are the only practical tent, most tents are thought of as roof pieces.
