Abstract: Portable shelters and in particular to portable shelters including an inflatable support structure. A portable shelter provides an inflatable support structure including a single interconnected passage for air, the passage comprising four substantially straight post portions defining upright corner posts of the support structure and a roof formation connecting upper ends of the post portions and having at least two interconnecting tubes, an intersection between said at least two interconnecting tubes defining an apex of the roof formation; at least one flexible roof panel extending between the intersecting tubes of the roof formation to form a roof of the shelter; and openings between each of the neighboring post portions, the openings being substantially square and having a minimum dimension of 1800 mm when the shelter is in a fully inflated configuration, and wherein an average angle of inclination of the roof, between the upper ends of the post portions and the apex of the roof formation, is less than 15°.
