tented

Covered with canopy

Tented describes something covered by or shaped like a tent.

A tented structure has fabric stretched over a frame: a tented pavilion for the wedding reception.

Fabric can be tented when it's draped loosely rather than lying flat: The sheets tented over his knees.

In medical contexts, tented skin stays peaked when pinched, indicating dehydration.
