Abstract
A portable, relocatable, erectable building or shelter structure, and method of erecting, utilizing a pair of laterally spaced elongated and segmented base rail assemblies to which are pivotally connected a pair of erectable arch assemblies for each row of a plurality of panels slidably engageable along two opposite sides to each pair of adjacent erectable arch assemblies pivotally connected to the base rail assemblies. The opposite sides of the individual panels other than the panel sides engageable to the adjacent base pivotally connected erectable arch assemblies are configured such as to be sealingly interengageable with the adjacent panel on both sides. The sliding engagement of each row of panels to both adjacent erectable arch assemblies pivotally connected to the base rail assemblies (and when in their vertical positions) constitutes structural retention of such vertical arch assemblies in their substantially upright positions without additional locking devices notwithstanding their pivotal connections to the base rail assemblies, and yet results in a portable erectable shelter or overhead cover structure that is closed and sealed to the elements without additional sealing …
