While surviving examples are rare, these visual sources depict single-pole tents of this kind. They are practical, easy to transport, quick to set up, and suited to temporary camps.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToday, reenactors love this style of tent for similar reasons. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a base diameter of approximately 3.2 m and a recommended pole height of between 2.1m and 2.2m depending on how far the sod cloth sits off the ground.
