Odd shaped tent

The odd shape is a lot like a SilDome with two hoops instead of one.

What's the American equivalent of a "boot fair?" Flea market perhaps?

Sort of, but more temporary perhaps.
'Boot' is the bit at the back of a car where you put luggage. It means people selling stuff out of the boot of the car – any stuff! Legality and warranty may be optional.

Trash & Treasure too.

The folks who had this were genuine though, I avoid buying stuff which may have been stolen.

Yes, the phenomenon of the 'car boot sale' grew rapidly in the UK. I thought the concept was an american import anyway? Or is that garage sales? Over here they are organised events where someone with a field or car park gets a license and charges sellers for a pitch. Buyers pay for car parking, and lots of junk changes hands for peanuts.

Sounds a lot like our flea markets where you rent a table or space to hawk your goods. Some are semi-permanent.

Looks like two SilDomes sewn together.

Three years ago I saw a Brit using one of these way above treeline here in Japan. We had a big mountain storm the night after I met him and his tent did very well. THe low profile definitely does well in high winds.

Thanks Miguel, exactly what I wanted to hear. It's a squeeze for me to get in and out of, but I think this one is a keeper.
