Yeah I do mate as I told you before they are all divs , unreliable can never get the job as you have asked fking dangerous I have had so many drops over the years through clips not being done tight enough and a couple of total collapses where I nearly lost my life always better to do my own and not that it matters but I have been doing my own scaffold for forty years.
Thanks cassie. I put it up as they show in the book. i.e. feet ,2 frames, hand rail, diagonal brace and board. I been using the eye bolts with the bar that clip on the frame and loop in the eye. Just sometimes theres a window or something in the way so you need a outrigger.
Dont get me wrong its great stuff but i thought that i could work 2 lifts up on short runs say 5-7.5mts with it not tied to wall or have outriggers.
For eg i see a lift at about 2.75mts high on a terrace with no outriggers and its stable. The lahyer would be a bit shaky. At that height would you lay a 600 high bay then build your 2 mt bay of that. ?
With tube scaff you could tie it somewhere convenient but when you only got the frames every 2.5 mts its not so easy. I like nothing sticking out so i can sheet it to protect from rain. Good thing about the layher is with the boards being solid the rain dont drip though the lifts
the lad that I get in, hes the only one qualified with another 2 that don't have any papers.
you must have been using Bill and Ben then..lol.. and Im sure your scaffold looks great.. just dont have any accidents..unless you like porridge..

Did you know my Uncle Cassie? John Cole. He was a scaffolding trainer.
Not by name mate, were he work ?? did mainly industrial myself.. offshore/refineries, worked the streets tho..
No dont know him mate, I worked offshore for Rigblast and salamis... takes loads of qualifications to be a scaffold trainer.. and takes years to get them, so he did well.. never heard of Trident scaffold training... maybe they shut down ?? been back in sheffield 10 years now, but spent last year in canada, and before that 12 years in Aberdeen..
