Abstract
The development of a main channel configuration which constitutes the four corners and vertical support of an enclosure is disclosed. The channel is essentially a right angle with the vertex of the angle chamfered which provides additional strength, and a pleasing sturdy aesthetic appearance. The lateral faces of the channel terminate in recessed gutters. The channel itself is symmetrical about a plane extending perpendicular through the chamfered face which connects the two side faces. The enclosure thereafter contemplates eight gussets, four at the top corners and four at the bottom corners. The gussets join cross ties at the two sides, and the front and rear, both top and bottom. Horizontal and vertical unistruts are provided in nestingly overlapped fashion interiorly of the main channels to add additional strength and also to secure the mounting channels which are positioned at various pre-selected locations.
