    Abstract: The enclosure is square or rectangular parallelepipedic shaped, incorporates wall forming panels, vertices at corners and elongated flanges. Each elongated flange has an uniform thickness, protrudes along each lateral side, outwards from a front, external surface of each wall forming panel and extends less than the full length of each lateral side. The elongated flange has a thickness commensurable with corresponding thickness of each of the wall forming panels. A segment of the elongated flange protruding outwards each lateral side equalizes with the thickness of each wall forming panels. An elongated rail, made of plastic material has, relatively, a lesser thickness than the thickness of each of the forming panels, provides a longitudinal and transverse flexibility and internally is so configured as to engage a pair of elongated flanges, perpendicularly positioned and in contact.
