Abstract
An enclosure having an opening that allows access to a space formed by the enclosure, a door that covers the opening, wherein the door includes a pair of rigid edges, and a vertical living hinge that attaches the door to a portion of the enclosure. The enclosure may have a horizontal living hinge that allows the pair of rigid edges to fold with respect to each other. The door may have a plurality of stiffening members to form the pair of rigid edges. The enclosure may have a plurality of stiffening members in the enclosure wall, located proximate to the opening. The plurality of stiffening members in the enclosure wall may be positioned to substantially align with the plurality of stiffening members in the door, so as to cover the opening and form a seal between the door and the enclosure.
