Vertical frame sidewalls, intermediate piers and horizontal shelves are erected from them. The frame of the rack is constantly checked by the level to match the horizontal and vertical.
On the mounted frame, using the metal screws( 25 mm), fix the upper and lower shelves. Further verifying the level, continue to coat the plasterboard frame scraper self-tapping in small steps. Work with him is not difficult, you can not even limit yourself to straight lines and corners. This material provides the possibility of various rounding and smooth transitions.
