Abstract
A foldable, adjustable-height, canopy support which can support up to four independent rectangular canopy-segments. The segments are cantilevered from a single mast. All support elements remain interconnected and fold parallel for storing and ease of portage. The support may include integral canopy-segments which retract onto elongated rollers when not in use. A demountable foot having clamps for attaching the bottom end of the mast to a solid object is also disclosed.
