We are going to slightly bend this side of uprights. They all have this similar shape on one side.

Use the bending guide to make the shape. The metal frame must fit in bending guide’s notch.

This bending will create a spring effect, that will allow you to remove easily the top part of your enclosure.

Step 4 Assembling the upright’s corners
