The present invention is directed to methods of manufacturing Anti-ballistic Shelters such as tents and other frame structures, doors, room dividers, furniture, cots, pads and umbrellas using soft armor fabric or hard armor materials. Soft armor consists of flexible high-strength layered anti-ballistic material attached to a frame and layered in at least two directions. Soft armor requires an area of flexibility/expansion to work effectively when struck by a projectile along with a very secure attachment. Attachment means for attaching the anti-ballistic material to the frame members include: (1) a wrapping and clamping method; (2) an inverted "T" construction and stitching method, using an optional calculated stretch material, breakaway stitch and holding stitch; and (3) an envelope method, also using a breakaway stitch and a holding stitch. This and further reinforcement as necessary allows the flexibility/expansion required for maximum anti-ballistic protection within the shelter.
