Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for load-bearing applications.Select fasteners with appropriate shear and tensile strength ratings that exceed the anticipated load on the assembled structure.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion/contraction in enclosed or temperature-varying environments.Incorporate expansion joints or slotted mounting holes to accommodate dimensional changes and prevent stress buildup.
