Hi @Willis Welcome to the Forum.  
Not sure that there is a **right direction**.  
If these are anywhere near your expectations they could be a starting point:

In the above **Tools \> Shell** was used to remove the unwanted fill.

Using Apertures for the Support Poles will enable some deformation:

This Link should provide the info to produce the desired shape:

The tent was created from a cubical **Body** and circular **Closed Shapes** were used to form the concave areas. **Transform \> Move/Rotate** was used to move the Aperture Edges up or down.

**Transform \> Move/Rotate \> selecting the + Copy Option** could produce:

**Tools \> Subtract \> selecting the Keep Original** [top left] if required.  
S3D is very versatile, the above are only my take in this instance.  
Experimenting is highly recommended.
