Tents
Tents are a design that can be made from any cone with an even number of sides. By inserting a 4x8 sheet along a line of symmetry, the design can be extended as much as you want. As well as creating life designs, by putting walls underneath the tent roof pieces, a variety of "longhouse" style yurts can be made.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Quadratent | H2 | 2 | Solo Tent | 0.41 | 1 | 32.00 | 9.00 | Slope | 3.42 | No | |
| Quadratent | H6 | 6 | Caveman | 8.50 | 2 | 96.00 | 14.50 | Slope | 6.92 | No | |
| Octatent | H6 | 6 | Octatent | 1.08 | 2 | 115.88 | 14.33 | Slope | 6.38 | No | |
| Decatent | H7 | 7 | Decatent | 0.78 | 2 | 172.35 | 17.00 | Slope | 5.11 | No | |
| Hexatent | H8 | 8 | Hexatent | 4.01 | 3 | 221.70 | 20.33 | Slope | 4.00 | No | |
| Dodecatent | H8 | 8 | Dodecatent | 0.19 | 3 | 238.85 | 19.50 | Slope | 2.88 | No |
Tents have the same issues as Cones, the biggest problem being the angle of the wall. Having a slope makes it very difficult and impractical to add a door. Quadratents are the only practical tent, most tents are thought of as roof pieces.
