    I wouldn't weld the plates to frame.! Brace the frame using normal triangular methods and bolt the sheet/plates to the frame.
    This will reduce chances of heat from welds pulling the frame plus be easier, quicker and more flexible regards building enclosure. The bolted sheet will still add strength and allow better access for working on etc. Also you'll be able to dampen the sheet to lower noise and resonance by using rubber gasket between frame and sheet.
