2. The tent pod in claim 1 wherein,

the curved substantially triangular shaped roof sections are each comprised of three curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions.

3. The tent pod in claim 2 wherein,

the curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions have sub-portion base segments and the sub-portion base segment of a first sub-portion is about 1.5 to 2.5 times longer than the sub-portion base segment of a second sub-portion.

4. The tent pod in claim 1 , wherein

the curved substantially triangular shaped roof sections are each comprised of four curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions.

5. The tent pod in claim 4 wherein,

the curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions have sub-portion base segments and sub-portion base segment of first sub-portion is about 1.5 to 2.5 times longer than the sub-portion base segment of a second sub-portion.

6. The tent in claim 1 further comprising,

a plurality of base plates, each arch end positioned adjacent another arch end on one of the base plates, and the poles each have second ends, each of which are coupled to one of the base plates.

7. The tent pod in claim 6 wherein,

the base plate has a substantially flat floor plate and first and second arch beam plates that extend from the floor plate, the arch ends supported by the floor plate and coupled to the first and second arch beam plates, respectively.

8. The tent pod in claim 7 wherein,

the base plate further includes a pole bracket that extends upward from the floor plate, each second end of the poles coupled to one of the pole brackets, respectively.

9. The tent pod in claim 7 wherein,

a winch is also attached to the floor plate and tensions the pod roof in a direction towards the base plate.

10. The tent pod in claim 1 wherein,

the poles are coupled at the first ends to a tripod cage, the tripod cage comprised of a pipe with a plurality of strap rollers and tabs extending perpendicularly therefrom.

11. A tend pod, comprising:

a pod roof including an assembly of fabric pod roof portions with substantially equivalent dimensions each fabric pod roof portion comprised of a composite of curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions with top and bottom base segments, each of the top base segments of all but one of the sub-portions coupled to the bottom base segment of another sub-portion, respectively, the leg segments of each pod roof portion angle towards each other and each are coupled to one of the leg segments of another pod roof portion forming a pod roof vertex;

a frame comprised of a set of poles and a set of arches, poles with a pole first end and a pole second end, the pole first ends coupled to the pod roof vertex, the arches having arch midsections and arch-ends, the arch midsections respectively coupled to the base segments, each arch-end positioned adjacently one other arch-end and to one of the pole second ends.

12. The tent pod in claim 11 , wherein

each fabric pod roof portion comprises a composite of three curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions.

13. The tent pod in claim 12 , wherein

each of the bottom base segments of all but one of the sub-portions is coupled along and to the top base segment of another of the sub-portions, respectively.

14. The tent pod in claim 12 , wherein

the bottom base segment of one of the sub-portions is coupled to one of the arch midsections.

15. The tent pod in claim 11 , wherein

each fabric pod roof portion comprises a composite of four curved substantially trapezoidal sub-portions.

16. The tent pod in claim 15 , wherein

each of the bottom base segments of all but one of the sub-portions is coupled along and to top base segment of another of the sub-portions, respectively.

17. The tent pod in claim 15 , wherein

the bottom base segment of one of the sub-portions is coupled to one of the arch midsections.

18. The tent pod in claim 11 , wherein

each arch-end and pole second end is coupled to and secured by a substantially flat plate.

19. The tent pod in claim 11 , wherein

the frame includes a longitudinal member extending downward from the pod roof vertex and each pole first end is securable to the member at first and second locations.

20. The tent pod in claim 11 , wherein

the frame is coupled to the pod roof vertex by a longitudinal bracket, each pole first end is securable to the longitudinal bracket at first and second locations.
