A suspendable structure 10 in the form of a suspendable tent 10 comprising of a flexible floor 12 and a network of suspension members 14, 16 for suspending the tent from a suitable suspension point. The suspendable tent 10 is conical shaped with a polygonal (or circular) floor 12. The suspendable tent 10 provides a single or sole suspension member 18 which is located at an apex 20 of the suspendable tent 10. The suspension means provides a single suspension point which solely supports and suspends the tent 10. The flooring 12 is intrinsically tensioned and an internal support strap 16 prevents the floor 12 from sagging. Accordingly, the present invention provides a suspendable tent 10 which does not require any guy ropes or other extrinsically secured tensioning and/or supporting and/or stabilising devices. The sole weight of the structure is entirely transferred through the single suspension point.
