With the walls upright, adjacent edges of the walls interlock to prevent swinging of the walls outwardly from a vertical. At least one wall has a removable access panel detachably mounted in an outer frame section of the wall. The access panel is removable without affecting the integrity of the structure interlocking the edges of the walls.
