Good!

If possible join the horizontal crossheads

to the vertical posts

Bad!

If possible join 2 profiles end to end on a

support profile

 PRF aluminium profile assembly

To reduce prefer an deflection, favour the

upwards assembly of rectangular profiles

Frames subjected to large torque can be

reinforced with a right angle

Good! Bad!
Avoid interrupting the carrying profile

 Aluminium profiles

The different formulae and equations can only be applied to punctual static loads. For any other
kind of load, refer to appropriate methods of calculation.
The security coefficients applicable to profiles are those used all the time in mechanics.
