- 1 - Abstract A compressed (e.g. accordian pleated) assembly of tubular, flexible, sheet material (preferably plastic material), is deployed to form an extended tube by a device that consists essentially of an arched rigid framework with a skin of sheet metal extending over its upper part. The compressed assembly of sheet material is mounted on a forward portion of the device, so that such material can be deployed into an extended tube at the rear of the device by pulling the latter forwardly along the ground, the free end of the tube having been suitably anchored at the starting location. Cooperating surfaces on the device are arranged to inhibit the deployment sufficiently to ensure tension in the tube beyond the rear of the device. This tube deployment can be combined with a simultaneous loading operation whereby goods to be stored, e.g. cylindrical bales of forage, are inserted from the front of the device through the frame- work and into the extended tube as it is formed. When the goods to be stored are such bales, they are preferably arranged end-for-end along the tube and in a triangular side-by-side and stacked relationship. As an alternative, instead of the tube being kept erect by the simultaneous storage of bales or other goods therein, a separate support structure can be assembled in the tube as it is formed. The effect will be to produce a shelter that can either be used as temporary accommodation for human use (e.g. a first aid station in a disaster area) or for storage. If translucent plastic material is used the shelter can be adapted as a greenhouse.
