A utility shed is disclosed comprising modular side panels ( ) which are connected together by corner connectors ( ) and in-line connectors ( ) to form sidewalls. The connectors ( ) have an I-beam cross section and comprise U-shaped ends ( ) which engage relatively wide channels ( ) to securely hold the wall panels together. A door assembly is provided for engaging the corner connectors ( ) and include pivot pin members ( ) which attached to the vertical channel ( ) of corner connectors ( ) and allow pivotal door panels ( ) to be suspended therefrom. Floor panels ( ) and lid panels ( ) are provided compatible with the I-beam edge configuration of the side panels ( ) such that the lid, floor and sidewalls mutually interlock with high structural integrity. The modularity of the side panels ( ) allow for enclosures of larger or smaller size to be created using the same panel componentry.
