Abstract

A structure tether system for a collapsible structure, comprising at least a first panel and a second panel coupled along a common edge, and angled relative to each other. The system may include first and second bracket assemblies, each comprising a receiver portion coupled to one of the panels and a bracket portion configured to engage the corresponding receiver portion. Each bracket portion may have a mating flange, with the angle of at least one flange based at least in part on the angle between the panels. The mating flanges may be configured to interlock, with a bolt used to selectively secure them together. The system may further include a support rib configured to add rigidity between the first and second panels and additional panels. The support rib may couple to the first and second bracket assemblies and further coupled to additional bracket assemblies associated with the additional panels.
