Abstract

A portable enclosure for sanitary purposes includes upper and lower retaining members and a plurality of support posts extending therebetween. A plurality of wall panels also extend between the respective retaining members. The side edges of the wall panels are received in grooves of the support posts and upper and lower edges of the wall panels are received in retaining means provided in the upper and/or lower retaining members. The retaining means are non-linear—preferably curved—ands preferably take the form of grooves in the surface of the retaining members. The wall panels thereby adopt a curved configuration which provides increased compressive strength.
