An inflatable housing structure forms an airtight enclosure for a motor vehicle positioned inside the housing. This airtight enclosure prevents water from entering and thereby prevents the water from accessing the vehicle. The housing comprises sides, a top and floor made of flexible waterproof material such as plastic or vinyl. Air tubes attached to the surfaces of the housing, inflate to form and sustain a housing structure. The air tubes for supporting the housing structure can be outside or inside the structure when formed. These air tubes can also be embedded into the surfaces of the housing.

An inflatable structure that can be easily transported, inflated, assembled, disassembled and stored with minimal if any tools and in a fraction of the time associated with prior art structures. The inflatable structure is comprised of a plurality of interchangeable structural members removably attached to one another, and that afford the user virtually endless design options and superior weatherproofing and insulating qualities. The structural member further comprises a plurality of filaments positioned in an airtight void, wherein said plurality of filaments are in tension when the structural member is inflated.

A protective device is described having a membrane and a support device for the membrane, wherein the support device has an inflatable first support element with a flexible wall which forms a first pressure chamber. The first support element has a first connection port with a first connection opening. The support device has an inflatable second support element with a flexible wall which forms a second pressure chamber. The second support element has a second connection port with a second connection opening. A connection device for connecting the first connection port to the second connection port is provided, wherein the connection device has a first connection part for connecting to the first connection port and a second connection part for connecting to the second connection port. The protective device is characterised in that means are provided for connecting the first and second connection parts to one another in a detachable manner.
