Here are a some more tarp tents from a copy of the Boy Scout Handbook published around 1925. All are constructed either from a square tarp, or from one that is twice as wide as it is high. We have made the square tarp ones, and they were simple enough to build. Most of these tents do not look well suited to handling wind or rain.

This is a pretty good fair weather tent where you
want to sleep a crowd with minimum canvas.
Not much good without a door in foul weather.
