In 2011, Sperry Tents (508.748.1792, sperrytents.com) in Rochester, Massachusetts, introduced the Sperry Pavilion. The bilevel unit has an ivory sailcloth top and wood framing, with a fabric cupola overhead that adds height to the tent as well as a unique design element. It can be fully sided and enclosed when needed.
