Pure ridge tent versions look the same as inside-framed ones, but the
woodwork is easier to transport. As I understand all our evidence for these
is illustrative, there are no hard and fast rules on support construction.
However, I have one of the few framed Getelds, and I wouldn't swap - It can
be picked up and moved to a better position, it looks right, it's timbers are
lighter weight than a Viking tent, and as it is also pegged all round it goes
nowhere in a storm!
PS At Fritton last week, Roland took several pictures of its construction, so
no doubt they will be available soon.
