In a preferred form, the portable walls have hinges comprising a hinge pin in engagement with edge portions of adjacent panels, the edge portions being of a shape such that they each provide a plurality of hinge knuckles, the hinge knuckles of one of the adjacent panels engaging with the hinge knuckles of the other of the adjacent panels. There are also described methods for producing components of the portable walls. <IMAGE>
