The design of the Q-Shelter allows for transformation into a variety of structures that best serve local needs.

- Clip assemblies spread evenly over inside of canopy provide fastening points for hanging articles
- Modular doors and floor
- Repositions into other shapes without changing the frame assembly or clip positions
- Clips, connectors and poles can all be substituted with improvised materials when necessary
- Clips can be re-used with any fabric or sheeting
- PVC pipe can be used for other needs after disassembly
In hot climates
The structure includes end-to-end and side-to-side airflow with venting at the apex of each door (a model that utilizes aluminum struts and connectors is available for extreme temperatures).
In wet climates
Sheeting at bottom edge of canopy and doors extends beyond the base of the structure to direct rainwater away from the structure - risers are available to provide ground-level ventilation.
In cold climates
Insulation is created by a second sheeting layer secured over the top of the framework, which creates an approximate 4″ buffer of air space between flame-retardant inner and outer canopies. Some minor additional assembly steps are required when the assembly process is taking place at or below freezing.
Note: Where the climate is consistently below 10 °F, (-10 °C), World Shelters recommends its Sub-Zero model, with utilizes aluminum poles and connectors rather than PVC.
