An expandable structure that includes front and rear structural units having inside-facing surfaces parallel to one another, a retractable top that spans the front and rear structural units, and first and second retractable partitions each of which spans and connects the front and rear structural units. The front structural unit is fixably attached to a substrate and the rear structural unit is mounted on a rolling mechanism so that the rear structural unit may be moved away from the front structural unit in an orientation perpendicular to the face of the first structural unit to a distance equivalent to a deployed depth of the first retractable partition, the second retractable partition and the retractable top.

A collapsible sun shelter that includes an arch support and a rollable flat mat that is configured to expand to include a canopy section and further includes a floor area portion, an upwardly deployable area portion at least two mat anchor points and at least two arch support openings. The rollable mat has an upwardly deployable area portion defined by an outer perimeter passing through at least one layer of the rollable flat mat such that the upwardly deployable area portion remains connected with the floor area portion when the upwardly deployable area portion is extended upwardly in a deployed configuration.

This invention discloses a tower system in which a telescoping tower with a plurality of tower structures is contained within a rigid transportation container in a substantially horizontal position for transportation, may be extended to a height much greater than its contracted length. The tower may be transported horizontal, repositioned to a vertical position and then the individual tower structures extended and secured via spring pins relative to the adjacent tower structure, the erection of the tower sections may be with external equipment such as a boom truck, or utilizing an internal hydraulic cylinder.

A buoying system includes an anchor, a plurality of vertical supports, a plurality of support mounts, and at least one floatation device. The anchor is affixed to the ground, and the plurality of vertical supports are affixed to the anchor. The anchor may comprise a plurality of anchors. The plurality of support mounts is affixed to the housing structure and are constrained laterally by the plurality of vertical supports. The floatation device is configured to elevate the housing structure above the ground in response to water reaching a predetermined lever as a result of a flood event.

A portable building, the portable building including: a body having at least one wall that is adapted to move from a substantially vertical position to a second position; and at least one slideout portion that slides outwardly from the body. The body is substantially the size of an ISO shipping container in a transport configuration.

A foundation floor system and associated transport apparatus for use in combination with a transport vehicle and an on-site foundation includes a frame, the frame including opposing I-beams each having an upper flange; a plurality of bar joists each extending perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams; each of the plurality of bar joists being in parallel alignment relative to each other and having first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams; first and second tube beams each being located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams beneath the upper flange, each of the first and second tube beams surrounding an end channel; and wherein the frame forms a surface that is sized and configured for receipt of a building structure; and a transport apparatus that is configured for transporting the frame thereon, and the transport apparatus including a tongue adapter and an axle adapter.

A module patio assembly includes a groundsheet formed of landscape fabric, parallel wooden sleepers connected to and extending transversely of the groundsheet, and parallel row of prefabricated deck tiles mounted on the sleepers. Cooperating hook and eye fasteners are provided on the top surfaces of the sleepers and on the bottom surfaces of the deck tiles for securing the deck tiles to the sleepers.

A foundation floor system and associated transport apparatus for use in combination with a transport vehicle and an on-site foundation includes a frame, the frame including opposing I-beams each having an upper flange; a plurality of bar joists each extending perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams; each of the plurality of bar joists being in parallel alignment relative to each other and having first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams; first and second tube beams each being located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams beneath the upper flange, each of the first and second tube beams surrounding an end channel; and wherein the frame forms a surface that is sized and configured for receipt of a building structure; and a transport apparatus that is configured for transporting the frame thereon, and the transport apparatus including a tongue adapter and an axle adapter.

Three dimensional structural frames and enclosures and related methods are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, an enclosure includes a plurality of three dimensional structural frames and opposing wall portions interconnected by the plurality of three dimensional structural frames, where the wall portions include a plurality of uniform wall sections, where the wall sections include a wall panel portion, a top wall portion, and sidewall portions, where the sidewall portions of the plurality of wall sections are joined to form the wall portions, and where the plurality of three dimensional structural frames are attached to the top wall portions of the wall sections.

A support assembly for supporting a building structure, the building structure having a support frame including at least one support beam, the support assembly comprising: a pile adapted to be buried into a ground surface, the pile having a longitudinal axis; a pile head adapted to be secured to a top end of a pile, the pile head including a mounting member engaging the pile and an extendable member movably mounted to the mounting member, the extendable member being movable relative to the mounting member, along the longitudinal axis, the extendable member including: a support platform adapted to receive the support beam of the mobile home's support frame thereon; and at least one holding member adapted to engage the support beam and prevent movement of the support beam relative to the support platform.
