Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel hardware which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 316 stainless steel or similarly rated fasteners and hardware for all connections.
Inadequate load calculation leading to premature failure of the bracing.Perform thorough structural analysis and load calculations to ensure the sheet's capacity meets or exceeds the required load.

Common Applications
