Free standing tents stay up by having their pole sprung into place under tension. You can pick one up in the air and it will not collapse (well not much, anyway). Think geodesic dome. Not-free standing means that the tent stays up only as long as the guy ropes stay put and the corners stay pegged down. Picture a pup tent. --Karl Coplan *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
