Deployable and stowable roof structures for portable shelters, and associated methods

A shelter system may include a roof structure with a hub structure, a plurality of roof pole structures connectable to the hub structure and positionable to extend outwardly from the hub structure, and a fabric panel configured to be at least partially suspended from the roof pole structures. The fabric panel may include a reversible pocket. The roof structure is configurable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. When the roof structure is in the stowed configuration, the hub structure and at least a portion of each roof pole structure may be positioned in the reversible pocket. When the roof structure is in the deployed configuration, the hub structure may be positioned above or outside of the reversible pocket. The shelter system may further include a rainfly that is positionable over the fabric panel with a gap between the rainfly and the fabric panel for airflow.
