ABSTRACT:
A light weight modular enclosure that may be easily assembled by a user and mounted on a utility trailer or pickup truck includes a plurality of modular foam-encapsulated side panel assemblies and two foam-encapsulated corner panel assemblies arranged in adjacent positions in U-shaped anchor channels secured along three edges of a rectangular floorboard to form a front wall and two side walls of the modular enclosure. The side panel and corner panel assemblies each include a plurality of molded key pins and key sockets that are positioned for mating engagement to secure the panel assemblies in strict alignment when adjacently positioned in the anchor channels. A door frame assembly fits into the open rear end of the modular enclosure. A pop-up canopy assembly is installed over the top of the modular enclosure to provide additional head room during use. Two lengths of a gird belt are attached to the door frame assembly, and the two free ends are routed forward within horizontal gird belt channels molded in the exterior surface of each of the side and corner panel assemblies. The free ends of the gird belt are cinchably joined at the front end of the modular enclosure to secure the side and corner panel assemblies in their assembled positions.
