A rapidly deployable structure comprising a first hub, a second hub, a plurality of legs and a rod connected to the first hub. The first hub includes a first plurality of recesses. The second hub includes a second plurality of recesses and an alignment guide. Each of the plurality of legs is connected to the first hub and the second hub. The rod connected is to the first hub and comprises a plurality of pins that are movable between an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, pins protrude from the rod. In a retracted state, the pins are retracted within the rod. The first hub is movable relative to the second hub between a first state in which the rod is disposed above the alignment guide in an axial direction defined by an opening in the alignment guide and a second state in which a portion of the rod comprising the plurality of pins is located below the alignment guide in the axial direction.

The invention is a shading structure (10) having an open state and a closed state and comprising a canopy (12), wherein the canopy (12) is affixed to further components of the shading structure (10) at at least two attachment places (18), wherein the two attachment places (18) define an axis of rotation (21), and at least two stiffening sections (14) arranged along a periphery of the canopy (12), wherein adjacent stiffening sections (14) are coupled to each other by a respective articulating member (16), and wherein the canopy (12) is stretched in the open state of the shading structure (10) by means of the stiffening sections (14) coupled to each other by the articulating member(s) (16).

The shading structure is characterised in that in the open state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) are skew with respect to the axis of rotation (21), and in the closed state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) extend in the direction of the axis of rotation (21), and the canopy (12) is rolled up around the axis of rotation (21).
