Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not match the sheet's thickness and load-bearing needs.Select fasteners with adequate shear and tensile strength, ensuring proper engagement with the 0.379" thick steel for secure attachment.
Neglecting surface preparation, leading to poor adhesion of coatings or potential corrosion at contact points.Thoroughly degrease and clean the steel surface before any further processing or installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
