a main panel having two opposite side edges,
top and bottom flanges extending rearwardly from the main panel, each of the top and bottom flanges having top and bottom surfaces,
one or more side flanges extending rearwardly from the main panel, each of the one or more side flanges disposed at one of the side edges of the main panel, the one or more side flanges for attachment to side flanges of another wall section, each of the one or more side flanges having top and bottom ends, and
