- Materials and Workmanship: When customizing, attention should be paid to details such as steel thickness, welding process, and anti-corrosion treatment to ensure safety and durability.
- Application Scenarios: The size selection should be combined with the actual use, such as temporary construction on construction sites, medical and epidemic prevention, commercial exhibition halls, etc. Some scenarios may require consideration of multi-story splicing or special door and window configurations.
