Abstract: A structural support member formed of a plurality of tubular members positioned to shape the structural support member in a desired form, e.g., an arched form. The positioned tubular members are permanently affixed to a base plate at one end and a nose plate at the other end, and the combination is layered by fiber-reinforced material to form the structural support member. Assembled plurality of structural support members can be interconnected to form a skeleton which can support a cover. Custom-sized structural support members are produced without the need for a mold. An additional embodiment utilizes an inflatable bladder as a mold around which the fiber-reinforced material is layered, the bladder then being deflated, removed, and reused. Custom-sized structural support members are thus produced in any shape desired and can also be assembled in group to form a skeleton which supports a cover.
