ABSTRACT:
The collapsible system can also be used for portable pet houses most types of small free standing buildings, as well as for emergency housing in times of disasters. The collapsible structure is better than a tent, because it has real walls, a roof, and has the feel of a home. The system can also be used for permanent housing, depending on building codes and types of materials used. By making the structure portable, it is easy to move from place to place. It can also cut down on cost of moving large and bulky objects, and also can cut down on packaging material. In the case of the housing, it cuts down on the cost of shipping. The record time that it takes to put up a collapsible structure also cuts down on manpower needed to set it up, thereby increasing quality control, because the collapsible structure can be made in a controlled factory environment and one can ship considerably more than what one could normally ship.
