ABSTRACT:
A collapsible structure has a base panel having separate first and second sides, and first and second wall panels, each having a bottom side connected to one of the sides of the base panel. Each panel further includes a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a fabric material substantially covering the frame member to form the panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation. The fabric assumes the unfolded orientation of its associated frame member. The first and second sides of the base panel rest on a surface when the structure is in its deployed configuration.
