A self erecting tent 10 includes a frame (14, fig 8) defined by one or more elastic rods 16, 18, 20 and a fabric membrane 12 supported by the frame. The membrane includes a flap 28 extending from the tent enclosure to form a canopy. An edge of the flap remote from the tent enclosure is supported by the frame so that the canopy self erects when the tent self erects. A portion of the flap closest the tent may include an air vent 42 to avoid the canopy creating lift during wind. The tent may include a rear canopy 40. In a second aspect, a tent has a roof portion (160, fig 20) connected to a wall portion (162, fig 20) by a water permeable membrane (166, fig 20) to allow condensation to disperse.
