Currently renovating our balcony, classic 1950s sinus sheet metal.

What is the best way to attach the metal to the existing posts? Riveting?

Most of them are usually pop riveted...

Thank you, how should one think regarding the length of the pop rivet head, if the frame for the sheet metal is let's say 5mm thick and the sheet metal is 2mm thick, how thick should the pop rivet head be?

May I ask where you got the sheet metal? Did you buy new? I have not managed to find a retailer that offers slightly wider sheets.
 
We have traded with Hogstad aluminium

Suspect you are done now, but around 10mm
