A tent is a building consisting of sheets of fabric or other material draped over, attached to a frame of poles or attached to a supporting rope.

In OSM only stationary or at least seasonal tents are to be mapped as buildings.

Note: For a permanently or seasonally stationary yurt or ger, use building=ger.

How to map

Draw an area along the building outline. In cases where it is impossible one may set a node instead. Tag it with building=tent and optionally a name=*.
