Kit Assembly
The kit comes as several panels which are soldered together. It's very simple and quick to assemble, like legos, and most users won't even need instructions. However with all our kits, we highly recommend at least skimming to quickly review.
- Step 1: Assemble the bottom and the sides. Simplest way to start is to hold the end panel and side panel to the bottom panel. This will form a stable triangle which can easily be tacked in to place with some solder. One in place you can add a thicker and longer bead of solder to add strength.
- Step 2: Add the remaining side. Solder all joints well and add plenty of solder. The whole seem doesn't need to be soldered, but ever 2" / 5cm is a good idea. And be sure to solder where the corners of the panels meet.
