ABSTRACT:
A flexible side wall construction for cargo vehicles that can be slidably opened by a sliding cargo door providing access to the cargo area of the vehicle. The flexible side wall may be compactly folded increasing the user's access to the cargo area of the vehicle. A plurality of connected panels of the flexible side wall include a series of primary poles, horizontally spaced along the flexible side wall. These panels further include upper and lower spring loaded intermediate poles affixed within intermediate pockets which are biased to cause the flexible side wall to fold in an orderly, pleated fashion. The pleated arrangement allows a weather sealing pelmet to properly function when the flexible side wall is fully lengthened or in a compacted position.
