Abstract
Custom enclosures are made using various types of wall systems, roof systems, and floor systems. For example, the wall systems may be made using at least two horizontally offset wall panels that have interface components to allow for connection in a lateral manner with at least one adjacent wall panel, and other interface components to allow for connection to at least one opposing wall panel in a horizontally offset manner.
Claims84
A custom enclosure comprising:
- a multi-panel wall system having at least one side wall;
- and
- at least one wall panel, for use with the multi-panel wall system, the at least one wall panel comprising:
- a panel section having:
- front and back surfaces, the back surface being opposite the front surface;
- and
- left and right side sections that include side surfaces that are each extending away from the panel section and having rear surfaces extending laterally inward therefrom, at least one first interface component at the right side surface, at least one second interface component at the left side surface and at least one third interface component on each of the rear surfaces,
- wherein the at least one first interface component of the wall panel is adapted to connect in a lateral manner with at least one corresponding second interface component of an adjacent wall panel, and
- wherein the at least one third interface component of the wall panel is adapted to connect to at least one corresponding third interface component on an opposing panel in a horizontally offset manner.

A connection system for a custom enclosure, wherein the connection system comprises:
- at least one upper longitudinal support beam comprising a top surface, an outer side, an inner side, and a lateral shelf extending from the inner side, the outer side having a lateral extent that is smaller than a lateral extent of the inner side, wherein the at least one longitudinal support beam is connectable to a portion of a wall system and a portion of a roof system to form an enclosure for the custom enclosure.
