The present disclosure relates to deployable structures, to methods and apparatus for deployment of deployable structures, and to associated manufacturing methods. Such deployable structures suitably comprise components for space structures, such supports for solar arrays, antennas or other similar systems. The deployable structure comprises a lattice element (202) and a deployment mechanism (204). The lattice element is arrangeable in a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, wherein deployment from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration takes place using the stored energy of bending in the lattice element (202). The deployment mechanism comprises a tension element to regulate deployment.
