ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a structural member, such as a truss, and a method and apparatus for fabricating the same from flexible sheet material in compacted form. A plurality of generally tubular columns are progressively formed from the sheet material and deployed generally parallel to one another. Adjacent pairs of the columns are interconnected by respective side members, each of which is comprised of a strip of the sheet material. The sheet material is fastened together by self-attaching fasteners integrally formed from the sheet material of the columns and side members themselves.
