Each cover only has joints on two sides that are designed to slip over the curved rim of adjacent sections. 2. Each cover has joints on all four sides that abut in the middle of the joint. 3. Like 2, but adjacent joints covers could intersect each other at an angle or with a kind of fingerjoint. The advantage is that the welding shield profile could be continued along the full length of the joint as adjacent covers interleave.
