Hoop, or tunnel tents are designed especially for backpacking. They are extremely lightweight, and fold up very small. |
The Bell Tent

The bell tent is rarely used for much of anything, but it is easy to set up. It has a single upright pole inside the tent, and guy wires come out from the sides. They are used less, because the dome tent has replaced them. |
