An insulated panel arrangement includes hook assemblies and pin assemblies to secure two panels together. The skin of at least one panel extends beyond the end face of the panel and is received in a recess in the skin of the adjacent panel so the two panels can be welded together to form a flat, continuous planar skin.

1. An insulated panel arrangement, comprising: an insulated panel having a pair of opposed left and right panel ends and a pair of opposed top and bottom panel ends, said insulated panel including parallel, spaced-apart inner and outer planar skins defining an interior space between said inner and outer planar skins, and an insulated core extending between said inner and outer planar skins and generally filling said interior space;wherein each of said planar skins has a pair of opposed top and bottom edges and a pair of opposed left and right edges, with at least one pair of opposed edges on each of said planar skins being bent toward the other of said planar skins to define two pairs of first and second opposed end faces located at respective first and second opposed panel ends;a hook assembly at the first of said respective opposed panel ends; anda pin assembly at the second of said respective opposed panel ends, directly opposite the hook assembly so that, when two of said insulated panels are placed end to end, with the first respective opposed panel end of one panel abutting the second respective opposed panel end of the other panel, the hook assembly on the one panel engages the pin assembly on the other panel to hold the two panels together;wherein at least one of the inner and outer planar skins on the first end face includes an extension which lies in the plane of the respective one planar skin and extends beyond the respective first end face, and the same one of the inner and outer planar skins on the second end face defines a shoulder and a recess indented inwardly from the plane of said one planar skin so that the extension on the first end face of one panel can be received in the recess on the second end face of an identical adjacent panel so that, when the adjacent panels are brought together and locked together by the respective hook assemblies and pin assemblies, the extension on one panel has an edge that lies adjacent to the shoulder on the adjacent panel such that a weld can be made along the edge and shoulder to weld the two adjacent panels together, with the respective planar skin being flat and continuous along both of the two adjacent panels. 2. An insulated panel arrangement as recited in claim 1, wherein said pin assembly includes a pin defining an inner end portion and an outer end portion, said pin lying between and extending perpendicular to said inner and outer planar skins; and inner and outer pin support members which are located in said interior space and which support said pin; each of said inner and outer pin support members having an end surface which bears against the second opposed end face of one of the planar skins;and wherein said hook assembly includes two spaced-apart hooks mounted for rotation on a rod, said rod defining an inner end portion and an outer end portion and lying between and extending perpendicular to said inner and outer planar skins; and inner and outer rod support members which support said rod;each of said inner and outer rod support members having an end surface which bears against the first opposed end face of one of the planar skins;wherein at least a portion of the end surface of said inner rod support member is directly opposite the end surface of said inner pin support member, and at least a portion of the end surface of said outer rod support member is directly opposite the end surface of the outer pin support member. 3. An insulated panel arrangement as recited in claim 2, wherein the inner and outer bent edges of the planar skins are spaced apart from each other, and further comprising a plurality of discrete, individual spacers secured to the inner and outer bent edges on at least one end face to maintain the inner and outer planar skins in uniform spaced apart relationship. 4. An insulated panel arrangement as recited in claim 3, wherein both of the pin support members have an end surface which bears against the second opposed end face of the same planar skin, and both of the rod support members have an end surface which bears against the first opposed end face of the same planar skin. 5. An insulated panel arrangement as recited in claim 4, wherein the end face of the planar skin against which both of said rod support members bear defines a slotted opening aligned with the hook to permit the hook to extend through that end face. 6. A method for building an enclosed, insulated structure, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of insulated panels, each having a pair of opposed left and right panel ends including left and right end faces and a pair of opposed top and bottom panel ends including top and bottom end faces, said insulated panel including parallel, spaced-apart inner and outer planar skins defining an interior space between said inner and outer planar skins, and an insulated core extending between said inner and outer planar skins and generally filling said interior space, wherein said end faces are perpendicular to the inner and outer planar skins; a hook assembly at a first of said respective left and right opposed panel ends; and a mating pin assembly at a second of said left and right opposed panel ends, wherein at least one of said planar skins;wherein at least one of the inner and outer planar skins on the first end face includes an extension which lies in the plane of the respective one planar skin and extends beyond the respective first end face, and the same one of the inner and outer planar skins on the second end face defines a shoulder and a recess indented inwardly from the plane of said one planar skin;bringing the left panel end of a first of said panels into alignment with the right panel end of a second of said panels;hooking the hook assembly of the first of said panels into the pin assembly of the second of said panels in order to tie the first and second panels snugly together, with the extension on one of the first and second panels being received in the recess on the other of the first and second panels, with an edge of the extension on the one panel lying adjacent to the shoulder on the second panel; and thenwelding the extension on the one panel to the planar skin on the other panel along the edge and shoulder to weld the two adjacent panels together, with the respective planar skin being flat and continuous along both of the two adjacent panels.
