Panel Structure

Abstract

A panel structure system is disclosed. The panel structure system comprises a panel having four opposing sides forming a perimeter about a front face opposite a back face; a perimeter member matingly coupled one side, with a channel having retainers formed in the perimeter member; a key having a first portion coupled to a second portion and a notch feature; and an assembly of panels including an interior and an exterior defined by the panels, with the panels arranged adjacent and coplanar in a wall structure coupled to a floor, wherein the assembly includes a roof structure formed by additional panels and positioned on top of the wall structures. The panels in the wall structure and roof structure are joined along the perimeter members of respective adjacent panels and couple the perimeter members with a key inserted into the at least one channel and the retainers retain the notch.
