ABSTRACT:
A pavilion is comprised of a plurality of spaced, generally parallel frames, each having elongated modular elements connected one to the other by joints. Adjustable spacers are provided to connect the frames one to the other. Each modular element includes a pair of channels along opposite sides thereof for receiving enlarged margins of internal and external canvases, respectively, extending between the modular elements of adjacent frames. The spacers are adjusted to tension the canvases between the frames. Each modular element has a spigot as its central core to ensure rigidity. The modular elements are secured at their ends to joints which have channels forming continuations of the channels of the elements whereby the canvases may be drawn through the channels. The pavilion is thus extendable by the additional of further frames and canvases and readily and easily knocked down for transport.
