Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners in corrosive environments, leading to premature failure.Utilize stainless steel or similarly corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for the specific application and environmental conditions.
Inadequate support leading to stress fractures or deformation over time.Design and install adequate support structures that distribute weight evenly and account for potential dynamic loads.
