Enclosed container with removable sides

A container configured to contain at least one object in an interior, the container having a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side opposite of the first side, a first end side, and a second end side opposite of the first end, the container comprising:

• a support frame with sides corresponding to the sides of the container, at least two of the sides being open sides and each defining an opening, the open sides of the support frame each comprising a perimeter frame extending about an opening and defining a side plane, the perimeter frame including a plurality of frame members positioned at the side plane and forming a substantially rectangular shape,
• a plurality of flexible panels each configured to at least partially cover one of the open sides of the support frame, each panel having a periphery and a peripheral section located adjacent and along the periphery, the peripheral section including a plurality of portions, at least one portion of the peripheral section having a thicker thickness relative to a thickness of a remainder of the panel;
• a panel mounting assembly configured to removably mount a said panel over the opening of one of the open sides of the support frame, the panel mounting assembly comprising at least three panel mounting elements, at least one of the at least three panel mounting elements defining a channel having a channel interior and a channel opening located at the side plane, at least one of the plurality of portions of the peripheral section of the panel extending through the channel opening and into the channel, the at least one panel mounting element comprising:
• a leverage structure configured to provide a fulcrum edge along at least a portion of the perimeter frame of the open side of the support frame, the at least one portion of the peripheral section of the panel being tensionable over the fulcrum edge;
• and
• a tensioning structure mountable on the leverage structure and positioned in the channel interior of the channel of the at least one panel mounting element, the tensioning structure being configured to selectively apply an adjustable degree of tension to the at least one portion of the peripheral section of the panel extending over the fulcrum edge of the leverage structure and into the channel interior;
• wherein the adjustable degree of tension applied by the tensioning structure to the peripheral section of the panel in the channel is adjustable by use of a tool inserted into the channel interior through the channel opening at the side plane to engage the tensioning structure.

• wherein the adjustable degree of tension applied by the tensioning structure to the peripheral section of the panel in the channel is applied by a fastener positioned in the channel interior adjacent to the tensioning structure, the fastener being accessible through the channel opening in the side plane;
• wherein rotation of the fastener in a first rotational direction tends to move the tensioning structure in a first direction to increase tension applied to the flexible panel and rotation of the fastener in a second rotational direction tends to move the tensioning structure in a second direction to decrease tension applied to the flexible panel.
