At the bottom of the bottom, at a distance of 5 cm from the edge of the product, they start to drill a hole for confirmats. The drill passes through the bottom and bottom of the sidewall. Confirmat is immediately inserted into the hole and tightened with a hexagon screwdriver. Next, drill a hole for mounting the sidewall on the other side. Similarly, come from the second side.
