Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a nativity stable structure particularly for use with larger nativity figures (24 inches in height, or greater) which is made of tubular and solid metal bars, rods and sheet members and fittings or connectors that can be economically made, shipped, packaged, assembled, such as in a kit or kits, and used to house the larger nativity figures. When Christmas has passed, the nativity stable structure of the present invention can be easily disassembled and repackaged in its shipping carton(s) and easily stored in compact, minimum footprint and volume. Further sheet flooring is included in the package or kit upon which the nativity figures can be placed. The flooring is made in a plurality of identical segments and is compact and also easily shipped and stored. Further, to facilitate erection of the nativity stable on an uneven ground (and generally lawns are somewhat uneven and should have some slope for drainage), the legs of the nativity stable structure are telescopic and can be fixed at a desired position to level the floor and nativity stable.
