A shelter-half (UK, Australia, and United States; also known in American English as a pup-tent, the German equivalent being the Zeltbahn), is a simple kind of tent designed to provide temporary shelter and concealment. Two sheets of canvas or a similar material (the halves) are fastened together with snaps, straps or buttons to form a larger surface. The shelter-half is then erected using poles, ropes, pegs, and whatever tools are on hand, forming an inverted V structure.
