Abstract
Enclosures and panels for forming such enclosures can include a first edge having a front side and a rear side, each side having a first portion of a fastening medium thereon, and a second edge having first and second flaps, each flap having an inner surface with a second portion of the fastening medium thereon. The flaps of a first panel can engaged with the front and rear sides of an adjacent panel, and similarly, any number of adjacent panels can be engaged in this manner to form a sealed enclosure, usable for maintaining a pressure differential between the interior and exterior thereof.

A panel for forming an enclosure, the panel comprising:
- a first edge having a front side and a rear side, wherein the front side and the rear side each comprise a first portion of a fastening medium thereon extending substantially a first half length of the first edge;
- and the first edge having a first flap and a second flap extending therefrom substantially a second half length of the first edge, wherein the first flap and the second flap each have an inner surface comprising a second portion of the fastening medium thereon adapted for engagement with a second, first portion of the fastening medium.
An enclosure comprising:
- a first panel having a first edge with a front side and a rear side, wherein the front side and the rear side each comprise a first portion of a fastening medium thereon extending substantially a first half length of the first edge;
- the first edge having a first flap and a second flap extending therefrom substantially a second half length of the first edge, wherein the first flap and the second flap each have an inner surface comprising a second portion of the fastening medium thereon adapted for engagement with a first portion of the fastening medium;
- and
- a second panel having a second edge with a front side and a rear side, wherein the front side and the rear side each comprise a first portion of a fastening medium thereon extending substantially a first half length of the first edge;
- the first edge having a first flap and a second flap extending therefrom substantially a second half length of the first edge, wherein the first flap and the second flap each have an inner surface comprising a second portion of the fastening medium thereon adapted for engagement with a second, first portion of the fastening medium;
- wherein the first edge of the first panel engages the second edge of the second panel, so that the first portion of the fastening medium of the first edge of the first panel engages with the second portion of fastening medium of the second edge of the second panel and the second portion of the fastening medium of the first edge of the first panel engages with the first portion of the fastening medium of the second edge of the second panel.
