Abstract: An improved method for constructing a container having at least three panels, all of which intersect at a common point and each adjacent pair of which intersect along a line, includes welding each adjacent pair of panels to join them together by placing a weld along the intersecting line between such panels to a weld-terminating point spaced from the common intersecting point of the panels. A patch component its provided to cover the common intersecting point and each weld-terminating point, and to intersect with each panel along a line. The patch component is then welded to each of the panels by placing a weld along the line of intersection with each panel.
