A collapsible portable structure which may provide a play environment for children has side walls (12, 14) defining an upright corner region with a free side edge and a canopy (20) which straddles the corner region. The canopy (20) may provide a roof-like cover or at least a partial enclosure. The side walls (12, 14) are each formed by a continuous loop (16, 18) of a flexible coilable rod supporting a flexible fabric panel. In other versions there may be one curved or angular panel, or two adjoining panel sections formed by a single flexible coilable rod supporting a single fabric panel. The canopy (20) is of flexile fabric and is attached to the fabric of the side walls, e.g. by stitching, at locations spaced inwardly from the free edge of the side walls. The canopy is supported separately from the side wall panels by at least one separate pole (24). A ground sheet (13) may optionally be provided extending across the corner region between the lower edges of the side walls (12, 14). |
