Morning everyone, Can someone confirm, when stacking items on a construction site, preferably reduce the height of stacked materials, but where stacking at a height in a storeage area is being carried out, what is the safe height it can go to?? Is it double the base?

I've found a comment that says 'never stack more that 3 times the base width'

But don't forget any rule of thumb like this will depend on what your stacking and how you are stacking it.
