    And why 12 sides? I’ve only ever seen a tent joint with five connection points max. Twelve would be overkill, especially when even if you used six holes, you’d have six other holes for no reason.

    And if they were tent joints, why wouldn’t we find them all over the place and not just northern England?

      that way you’re flexible. you can use three poles or four etc, depending on how big you want it.
