The RSK shelter kits
The emergency RSK shelter kit provides a strong and secure shelter for a family of 5 that can be erected in less than one hour.
The nine poles are simply lashed together with twine to make a reciprocal frame (RF) roof shelter.
One tarpaulin is used for the roof and a second tarpaulin makes the walls. Two guy ropes anchor the shelter to the ground.

The kit is similar to the emergency RSK except 4 posts are used to support the roof frame and an additional bamboo side pole is used to complete the roof frame.
One tarpaulin is used for the roof and awning and a second tarpaulin is used to make the walls.
This 12 pole lightweight kit is easily carried and rapidly assembled.

The double RSK shelter kit is assembled from 16 bamboo poles for the roof frames and 6 bamboo support posts.
It provides a secure and dignified temporary shelter for a family of 6. Slots are cut using a handsaw or machete in the top of the posts to accommodate the roof frames otherwise the frame is simply lashed together.
Three tarpaulins are used for this shelter; one for the roof and one and a half for the walls.
