Abstract

A collapsible accommodation unit which is transportable and lightweight in construction so that it can be erected quickly and easily to provide semi-permanent relief accommodation. The unit comprises a floor (10), a roof (11), a first pair of opposed folding side walls (12) hinged to the floor and to the roof, and a further pair of side walls (13) hinged to opposite ends respectively of the floor (10). The unit may be raised from a flat collapsed condition to its fully erected condition very quickly requiring neither tools nor skilled personnel. Rigidity and weatherproofing are ensured by an open-bottom box formation of the roof (11) and by inter-engaging members (22, 33) at the side edges of the walls (12, 13).
