A self-erecting, collapsible fabric shelter structure whose armature comprises two or more panels, each formed by a resiliently flexible filiform loop, and a pair of resiliently bendable arcuate rods tensioned between each two adjacent panels. A piece of cloth is spread between the loop of each end panel to form the end walls, and another over the rods to form the roof of the structure. Each panel can be folded into three small rings by a 360 degree twist of its loop, causing the associated rods to conveniently coil around the rings to form a compact package.
