A collapsible yurt and method of deploying are disclosed. The yurt comprises a first base unit 20 having first edge 22, and a first post 24 and second post 26 which are fixed to, and extend upwards from, the first base unit. The first and second columns are spaced apart from one another and located adjacent the first edge of the first floor unit. A first concertina wall 28 section extends between the first and second stanchions and is operable to move between a first configuration in which the bellow wall is on one side of the first edge of the first ground unit, and a second configuration in which the trellis frame is extended away from the first edge of the first base unit. A second 60 and third 70 base units exist and can be hinged to the first base unit. The pleated expanding panels between the posts may extend across these bases and to the circumference of the bases outer edges. The folding dome may also have a crown ring (50, fig.3) with mounts 52 to which rafters may connect between the concertina walls and end walls of the structure. The first base may be fixed to a trailer. The method of deploying the yurt consists of positioning a first and second base unit so that their upper surfaces are aligned, expanding a concertina wall from the first base across the second base and raising a crown ring on a telescopic post to lift the roof.
