<p>The present invention relates (with reference to the figure) to a method of manufacture of a structure which comprises a plurality of structural members (10, 11) bonded together, the method comprising the steps of extruding a first structural member (11) with a chosen cross section, and joining the first structural member (11) to a second structural member (10) by bonding with an adhesive, wherein the depth of the adhesive between the structural members (10, 11) 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 (11) is provided on a first surface with a plurality of spaced-apart exterior ribs (12) which abut an adjacent surface on the second structural member (10) and which define between them a gap for receiving adhesive, whereby the ribs (12) define a chosen depth of adhesive in order to optimise the bond between the first and second structural members (10, 11).</p> |
