A tent ( 10 ) with extendable windows ( 14 ) having a main structure ( 12 ) including a plurality of walls ( 16, 18, 20 ) which are oriented at a first angle ( 60 ) with respect to a vertical reference. The tent ( 10 ) also includes at least one window ( 14 ) which is extendable to a second angle ( 62 ) with respect to a vertical reference, where the second angle ( 62 ) is a more negative angle than the first angle ( 60 ) thus producing windows ( 14 ) which are horizontally extendable further than the tent walls ( 16, 18, 20 ).
