It should also be remembered that self-tapping screws can not be fastened closer than 15 mm from the edge of the sheet, since it can be deformed.

Profiles should be chosen with stiffeners not too thick, since in this case, pre-drilling of the metal is required. For cutting elements of the frame use scissors for metal. Expose the profiles that form the basis of the frame must be strictly vertical. The fasteners are positioned 600 mm apart from each other. After fixing the guides, install jumpers. All elements of the metal frame are mounted using metal screws.
