The present invention is a container for transportation and storage. It comprises a cover, a base, and side panels for positioning between the cover and base to form a universal storage container. The side panels have a panel structure for maintaining the structural integrity of the side panel, with at least one latch near an upper edge for securely attaching the side panel to the cover and at least one latch near a lower edge for securely attaching the panel to the base. The vertical edges of the side panels have universal joints to interconnect the panels.

A knock-down container for transportation and storage comprising: a cover; a base; a plurality of side panels positioned between said cover and said base, said side panels comprising vertical edges having interlocking means integrally formed within said side panels for coupling two of said adjacent side panels, said interlocking means being universal such that any two of said side panels can be coupled in at least two different relative positions: a first position defined by two of said side panels being relatively perpendicular to form a corner joint, and a second position defined by two of said side panels being relatively coplanar to form an abutting joint, said interlocking means comprising a first joint in each of said relative positions extending along the interlocked vertical edges forming a tortuous path for water thereby rendering the joint water resistant; a first coupling means located near a lower edge of said side panels for coupling said side panels to said base; and a second coupling means located near an upper edge of said side panels for coupling said side panels to said cover; said side panels forming with said base and cover second and third joints, respectively, forming tortuous paths for water thereby rendering the second and third joints water resistant.
