Abstract
There is provided an edge joint between two pieces of metal sheet material, in which a marginal portion of each piece is folded back to lie adjacently along the main portion of that piece. The two pieces are arranged so that the marginal portion of one piece is sandwiched between the main portions of the two pieces, and the main portion of the other piece is sandwiched between the marginal portions of the two pieces. Apertures in the pieces pass through the folded regions, and the apertures are aligned so that a fastener can be placed through the aligned apertures for joining the two pieces.
