ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly covering an area having expandable struts secured at their ends to connectors. Outer struts are attached to fixed anchors located at the perimeter of the area. The struts have separate members that are moved relative to each other in response to a force, as fluid under pressure or springs, to increase the length of the struts. Contracted struts and connectors are put together on the surface of the area forming a network of struts and connectors. The network may be arranged in regualr geometric patterns. The frame assembly is erected by expanding the struts to raise the network of struts and connectors from the surface of the area. The expanded struts are locked to hold the frame assembly in its erected position.
