The first and second members (106, 108) form a closed space (114). The side portion (102) comprises a reinforcing member (124) located in closed space (114), the reinforcement member (124) extending in the longitudinal direction. The reinforcement member (124) has a first leg (126) and a second leg (128) extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. Each leg has a foot (130, 132) extending in the longitudinal direction. The first and second legs (126, 129) are joined in a head section (134). Each leg (126, 128) is corrugated, wherein the corrugations of the first and second legs (126, 128) comprise ridges (136, 144) and grooves (138, 142) which extend from the head section (134) to the respective foot (130, 132). Each ridge (136, 144) is more prominent in the head section (134) than at the foot (130, 132).
