Abstract
An apparatus packaging enclosure includes end members (preferably injection molded plastic) of desired configuration to define a cross-sectional shape including a desired height and width to the packaging enclosure. Spaced-apart elongate fastener members (preferably extruded aluminum) extend longitudinally between the end members to define therewith a desired length to the packaging enclosure. Devices secure opposite ends of the fastening members to the inside surfaces of respective end members at generally outer peripheral areas of the end members. Elongate panels (preferably pultruded plastic) extend between the end members and around the outside of the fastener members to define outside surfaces of the packaging enclosure. Devices secure longitudinal edges of the panels to the fastener members. The panels are positioned within the edges an abutting relationship with inside surfaces of the end members. The panels are slightly longer in the longitudinal dimension than the fastener members, so that when the apparatus packaging enclosure is assembled and the fastener members are secured to the end members, the panels will be in compression and the fastener members will be in tension…
