ABSTRACT:
A sheet metal structure having two panels of substantially the same cross section connected to one another by a lap joint at their outer ends. Each panel has at least one major U-shaped section which has a base wall and a pair of oppositely disposed side walls. The base wall is formed with a plurality of minor U-shaped longitudinally extending ribs which form a plurality of alternately disposed minor crests and velleys. The major U-shaped sections and the minor ribs of the panels nest with one another at the lap joint. A spacer panel is provided for spacing the nesting ends from one another to facilitate the rigid securing of the ends. The spacer panel has a body portion formed with a plurality of spacer lugs at one edge thereof which project outwardly from the body portion in a spaced relationship. The lugs have a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the panels which are to be joined. The lugs are located between the overlapping base walls of the panels and space the base wall panels apart to permit nesting of the ends of the panels at the lap joint without requiring deformation of either of the nesting panels.
