This invention relates to an air supported double wall structure and a method of making same, including the preparation of a first and second plastic sheet; providing said plastic sheets with a multiplicity of predeterminedly located paired holes which determines the configuration of the final inflated structure; placing the plastic sheets opposite one another; mounting a multiplicity of grommeting means, provided with segments of cords, on the external surfaces of said plastic sheets over said holes; causing said segments of cords to extend inwardly through the holes between the plastic sheets; tying together in knots the loose ends of said cord segments, of the first sheet, with the corresponding loose ends of the cord segments of the second sheet; fusing the edges of the two sheets together; and blowing air into the thusly formed enclosure. An alternate method of securely maintaining the cords between the two plastic sheets is described, in which gaskets are placed adhesively against the internal surface of the plastic sheets covering the areas immediately surrounding the paired holes; segments of one-piece cords are caused to extend between and pass outwardly through said paired holes of the first and second plastic sheets, respectively; the ends of the cord segments are tied in knots to prevent their slipping back through the holes, and a washer is placed between the knots and the underlying outer sheet surface to prevent tearing of the holes. The externally situated knots or grommeting means are superposed by air tight covering means so as to prevent escape of air through the holes, in addition to improving the stability of the knots and the outward appearance of the plastic sheets. The double-walled structure is ideally suited for the heating of fluids, such as air or water, by solar means. This is accomplished by connecting a hose or tube, carrying fluid from an appropriate source, to a plurality of elevated points within the double-wall structure. The fluid is then heated by solar means, as it falls, by gravity, to one or more exit points.

A double walled inflatable enclosing structure, which comprises, in combination: a first reinforced plastic sheet; a second reinforced plastic sheet sealing attached to said first reinforced plastic sheet to form the roof and walls of said enclosing structure; means for internally interconnecting said first and second reinforced plastic sheets comprising: a. a plurality of individual, substantially non-stretchable, flexible, cord means, b. a plurality of pairs of holes provided in said first and second reinforced plastic sheets, each hole of a pair of holes being oppositely disposed in each of said first and second reinforced sheets at variable but predetermined distances from an adjacent pair of holes, c. the ends of each of said individual flexible cord means passing through each pair of holes and said ends being provided with enlarged ends so as to prevent their slipping inwardly through the holes whereby said plurality of cord means interconnects, and is supported entirely by, said first and second reinforced plastic sheets at the variable but predetermined distances from each other determined by the location of said plurality of said pairs of holes, and d. a plurality of washer means provided between the enlarged ends of each of said cord means and said first and second reinforced plastic sheets to prevent tearing of the underlying holes; means for air sealing said structure at areas adjacent the said enlarged ends of each of said cord means; an air blower means adapted to blow air into said enclosed structure and cause it to be inflated, said plurality of flexible cord means becoming taut and determining the configuration of said enclosed structure when said enclosed structure is fully inflated and said plurality of flexible cord means lying loosely within said enclosed structure when said enclosed structure is not inflated; fluid inlet means between said first and second reinforced plastic sheets, at at least one elevated point within said enclosing structure; fluid supply means connected to said fluid inlet means; and temperature-responsive valve means at a low point in said enclosure for permitting fluid, entering the fluid inlet means from said fluid supply means, to exit from said enclosing structure.
