Anyone have any tips on the weld order to stop the sheet from distorting and looking nasty?

plenty of tacks about every inch then weld short lengths leaving each to cool before doing one next to it
the more tacks you have the better and thay also help heat transfer to the tube so your sheet dont buckle as it expands when you weld
another tip is if you get some zinc weld trough spray and spray the bottom of the tube and top edges of the sheet it will help preventing rust in the bit your not going to get paint in on the overlap
