A suspendable structure 10 in the form of a suspendable tent 10 comprising of a flexible floor 12 and a network of suspension members 14, 16 for suspending the tent from a suitable suspension point. The suspendable tent 10 is conical shaped with a polygonal (or circular) floor 12. The suspendable tent 10 provides a single or sole suspension member 18 which is located at an apex 20 of the suspendable tent 10. The suspension means provides a single suspension point which solely supports and suspends the tent 10. The flooring 12 is intrinsically tensioned and an internal support strap 16 prevents the floor 12 from sagging. Accordingly, the present invention provides a suspendable tent 10 which does not require any guy ropes or other extrinsically secured tensioning and/or supporting and/or stabilising devices. The sole weight of the structure is entirely transferred through the single suspension point.

A tent (1) comprises a flysheet (4) supported on a plurality of ground engaging tent poles (7), each of which terminate in respective opposite ground engaging ends (8). A heat insulated enclosure (2) is suspended within the flysheet (4) from the ground engaging tent poles (7) by suspension straps (24). The heat insulated enclosure (2) comprises a heat insulated groundsheet (17), a heat insulated peripheral side wall (19) extending upwardly from the heat insulated groundsheet (17) to a heat insulated ridge element (20), all of which include spaced apart inner and outer sheets (25,26) of fabric material with a heat insulating material (27) such as cellucotton material of thickness typically in the range of 15 mm to 40 mm sandwiched between the inner and outer sheets (25,26). The heat insulated enclosure defines an open mouth (21) which is closed by a heat insulated closure sheet (22), and the heat insulated enclosure (2) communicates with a day compartment (10) located forwardly of the heat insulated enclosure (2) within the flysheet (4).

The invention provides means, methods, and devices for suspending persons and goods above the ground while outdoors. Particularly, the invention provides a treepod assembly having a tent and a suspension element, capable of securely supporting at least one occupant while suspended above the ground from a tree or other elevated structure. In some embodiments, the treepod assembly may further include a rigid frame for additional support. Certain embodiments include an inflatable pocket that protects occupants and items inside the tent from injury or damage in case of a fall and impact with the ground.

A modular frame and structure system and method includes a framework and a cover coupled to the framework and configured to provide a desired structure. The framework includes a plurality of elongated frame members, and a plurality of coupling members for coupling the elongated frame members. One or more of the coupling members includes a releasable connecting device having a connecting mode for connecting the coupling members to the frame members and form the framework, the releasable connecting device having a release mode for disconnecting the elongated frame members from the coupling members. The cover includes one or more interlocking wall panels configured to engage and be supported by the elongated frame members, and one or more interlocking roof panels configured to engage and be supported by the elongated frame members.
