Abstract
A plurality of modular panels are joined together by easily installed fasteners to provide an enclosure, or the like. The fasteners pass through ribs of abutting modular panels and are retained in place, in part, by an elongated bead defined by the ribs. Each fastener applies pressure to adjacent ribs at three spaced-apart regions, unlike prior art fasteners which act at a single point.
