Can anyone help me with some rather specific scaffolding questions please ?
1. min & max height of bays ?
2. min & max width of bays ?
3. min & max spacing between bracing ?
4. recommended angle of raker to vertical ?
If not, maybe you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks..

Garry,
The scaffold our operatives use is mainly for repairs & maintenance of dwellings (houses & flats that we rent out).It is general access scaffold I believe.

Garry,
I understand the Co. uses a mixture of system and independent scaffolding. Unfortunately, I am not a scaffolding expert although I've been presented with the information to find.

If your Scaff Co has both Systems, I would go for the tube and fitting option, in my opinion tube and fittings are more versitile for renovation projects..i.e.Fan lifts for protection to the public...roof saddell scaffold 4 chimmlyz ect.
