Do all the horizontal ones first then do the sides.

Another thing I have been doing is feeding a bolt into the frame and using a nut on the outside instead of the self tapping screws supplied. I have had customers strip them out checking for tightness. Works much better.
Vince Thank you so much I will look to do the same with feeding the bolts into the frame. I have heard of other having issues with the self tapping getting stripped
