A frame assembly and method of making a frame assembly over an area with a plurality of strut assemblies connected to hubs and peripherally located anchors. The hubs pivotally connect the adjacent ends of the strut assemblies to complete a network of hubs and strut assemblies covering the surface. Each strut assembly has a leaf spring strut that is biased to a curved contracted position. The curved struts are bowed contracted struts and S-curved contracted struts. A holding member engages separate portions of the strut to retain the strut in its biased curved contracted position. The contracted strut assemblies are pivotally attached to the anchors and hubs on the surface. The frame assembly is erected by releasing the holding members to allow the strut assemblies to spring to their natural elongated positions.
