<p>A panel 2 for forming a side wall of a box structure, such as a compost bin or planter, the panel comprising a main body portion 3 having two opposite end portions each having formed therein a transverse anchoring slot or notch 8 extending from a lateral edge thereof, at least approximately half the width of the panel 2. The panel 2 is anchorable to a second like panel 2 by mutual interlocking of one said anchoring slot 8 in one end portion 6 of the panel with a corresponding anchoring slot 8 in a corresponding respective end portion 6 of the second like panel when in an inverted orientation with respect to the first said panel 2. Once engaged, two pairs of opposing panels form a horizontal frame section. In order to interlock together the different levels of horizontal frame sections the panels further comprise one or more engagement formations, such as tongue and groove formations 10, 12, for assisting seating and anchoring of the panel 2 to another like panel 2 above or below it when in place in the side wall of the box structure. The tongue in the tongue and groove arrangement can be an integral tongue or a separate one engaging with grooves on both the upper and lower panels. The design of the panel 2 enables just a single panel template to be used for all the panels for assembling the complete box structure.</p> |
