• (i) providing four side wall assemblies each comprising an inner layer and an outer layer of fabric, film or vinyl;
• (ii) securing the inner layer and an outer layer of two of the side wall assemblies together using two vertical sew lines to create a pocket in each;
• (iii) securing the four side wall assemblies together end to end, alternating the side wall assemblies with the two vertical sew lines and the side wall assemblies without the two vertical sew lines to create the collapsible sleeve having eight pockets;
• and
• (iv) inserting stiffening panels in the pockets, and
• (b) providing a liner attached to the collapsible sleeve at the first end, wherein the liner comprises an apex and is suspended within the collapsible sleeve, wherein the liner is sized so that the apex is suspended in the collapsible sleeve above a surface upon which the second end of the collapsible sleeve is resting.
