An extendable shed comprising:
- at least one back panel capable of being vertically connected by at least one back connector to another back panel;
- at least one front panel capable of being vertically connected to another front panel by at least one connector;
- and
- at least one module unit, said at least one module unit comprising:
- base panel;
- at least one pair of side panels capable of being vertically connected by at least one side connector to another pair of side panels, wherein one of said at least one pair of side panels is connected to different sides of said base panel:
- and
- a roof panel connected to one of said at least one pair of side panels,
- wherein said at least one module unit is capable of being horizontally connected to another module unit, and wherein one of said at least one module units is attached to said at least one back panel and one of said at least one module units is attached to said at least one front panel.
A connector for connecting a plurality of panels together, said connector having a top edge and a bottom edge, said connector comprising a member having protrusions along its length, said protrusions being hollow and conduit-like and protruding above said top edge and beneath said bottom edge of said connector and wherein a first protrusion situated at a back edge of said connector is rectangular in section and has molded to its back edge a locking structure for connection to a second connector and wherein a second protrusion is situated centrally in said member closer to a front edge than said back edge of said connector and wherein a third protrusion is situated at said front edge of said connector and forms a circular socket for connection to a second connector.
A roof panel comprising a tray-like member closed on three sides having a solid surface on each of three axes and protrusions for slideably locking said roof panel to a side panel and further comprising a roof locking and weatherproofing mechanism and wherein said protrusions are situated on each of two side edges of said roof panel protruding downwards and wherein a first protrusion is at a back edge of said roof panel, a second protrusion is central but towards said back edge of said roof panel and a third protrusion at a front edge of said panel and wherein said roof panel has a semi-circular boss on each of two side edges of said roof panel forward of said third protrusion at a front edge of said panel for hingeably connecting a second panel to said roof panel and wherein said roof pane is ridged.
