Drainage
When designing or producing structural hollow structures, remember to provide for each separate element appropriate drainage. The technological holes must be located at the ends of the pipes on opposite sides diagonally.

Internal diaphragm
When using internal diaphragm, make sure the corners of it are cut. On larger RHS use a stiffener with a central hole as well as cut corners. NEVER arrange a plate that blocks the entire cross section. It may be dangerous during hot dip galvanizing. (One may happen to be unpleasantly surprised when receiving an invoice if the entire section has filled with zinc which cannot escape!)
