Use photo bucket to post them, or email them to fitz8@btinternet.com and I might..Just been to view a job, it's in parts maybe 4-5 mtrs high. Four flights of stairs. Cant scaffold it because of it being spiral. Anyone any ideas on how to set it out with ladders and battons.or any suggestions how to approach it safely. Have pictures but no idea how to post them
Stilts it is then,It's to be plastered then painted.Thanks
you can scaffold anything mate, get a scaff to have a look,
yes, you can cantilever, various ways to do it, beams are the easiest.. but its no problem really.. is that what you mean mate ?
Thanks cassie....yeah that sound about right bud...do you recon if I google cantilever scaffold it will show that set up mate?:RpS_thumbup:
Yeh should do mate, its not a standard job though and you have to take into account weight distribution. you cant just throw beams out, its got to be tied or kentledge weighted to stop the '' tip over '' beam jobs are defo left to a qualified scaffolder, by rights onlt an advanced qualified scaff should erect these jobs... you can bell me if you need any advice mate..
I think I'd be inclined to make a hop up come platform to fit over say 4/5 treads and risers (cutout to suit the staircase ) as it's a spiral they should all be the same measurement give or take,just over half the width of the staircase for access up and down (other people),you can then move it up and down the stairs as and when , pain in the arse I know but remember anyone can do the easy jobs:RpS_biggrin:, obviously I don't know the logistics of the job so might not work but have done something similar before
