The present invention relates to a method of manufacture of a structure which comprises a plurality of structural members bonded together, the method comprising the steps of extruding a first structural member with a chosen cross section, and joining the first structural member to a second structural member by bonding with an adhesive, wherein the depth of the adhesive between the structural members is chosen so as to enhance the performance of the adhesive bond. The present invention also provides a method of manufacture of a structure wherein the first structural member is provided on a first surface with a plurality of spaced-apart exterior ribs which abut an adjacent surface on the second structural member and which define between them a gap for receiving adhesive, whereby the ribs define a chosen depth of adhesive in order to optimize the bond between the first and second structural members.
