The roof (5) is carried by a roof carrier plank (60) of the second wall and a roof carrier segment (50) of the first wall. The roof carrier plank extends over the upright, extending in the second horizontal groove, and at its lower side it is provided with a recess (63) of which the side edges engage the upright on opposite sides, and of which the bottom is located at a distance (D1) from the bottom of the second horizontal groove. The roof carrier segment extends over the upright, extending in the first horizontal groove, and at its lower side it is provided with a recess (56) of which the side edges engage on the upright on opposite sides, and of which the bottom is located at a distance (D2) from the bottom of the first horizontal groove.
