Japanese term or phrase: ジャバラテント
OK... here is a good one.

Apparently a ジャバラテント will be used as a temporary warehouse. I even found a picture of one on a Japanese site:

It doesn't look like "jabara tent" is standard term, and "collapsible tent" is probably not specific enough... Does anybody know if there is a correct name for this in English?
