1. A tent structure (1) comprising:
- a) a perimeter frame (5) having a form of a closed planar geometric shape;
b) a roof canopy (3) having edges couplable to said perimeter frame (5);
c) a cable network (11) comprising a plurality of radially directed cables (9) and a centrally disposed cable (10), wherein each one of said plurality of radially directed cables (9) is couplable at one end to said perimeter frame (5) and at another end to said centrally disposed cable (10);
d) a plurality of flying masts (8) positionable between said cable network (11) and said roof canopy (3) to fully tension said roof canopy(3); and
e) a plurality of column members (30) couplable to said perimeter frame (5) and operative to support said perimeter frame (5) in an elevated position relative to a support surface.

Abstract
A multiple peak tent (1) structure which is mechanically simple and easy to assemble. The tent structure of this invention can span relatively large areas without inhibiting mobility under the tent through the use of ground extending support poles. The canopy (3) of the multiple peak tent (1) structure is supported by multiple masts (8) resting on a cable network (11). The cable network (11) is attached to the upper corners of the frame structure resulting in a tent having no supporting poles that extend to the ground in the covered area. The multiple peak tent (1) structure may be expanded modularly to span larger areas.
