ABSTRACT:
A frame supported structure with fabric panels is formed from a plurality of spaced arched frame members pivotally attached at their lower ends to ground plates. The ground plates are fixed in position prior to erection of the frames. The frames have open slots on each side into which slide beaded or roped edges of the fabric panels. The frames can be erected from or near ground level, and then the fabric panels pulled in along the slots, from ground level. Cranes or scaffolding are not required. After the panels are in position they are tensioned, as by inflating inflatable sections extending for the length of a panel.
