so long as it is fit for purpose, been inspected and signed off i see no reason why it would need striking and re erected

I would imagine if it is regulary inspected and maintained including replacing boards if required, and in the event pre mid 90's, installing a mid rail.

There is currently a Temporary Roof structure over an archealogical dig site in Southampton that has been in situe for the last 27-years. During that time it has been overhauled on 3 x occassions.

The last time being 2009 to take account of TG20:08 design requirements. The structure contains 20 x chords of Mod beams, spanning approx. 20m and each and every nut & bolt set needed to be burnt/ground out and replaced.

As far as I know it is still going strong!

Kind regards

eagle star building glasgow think up over 12years wd40 didnt work,so stihl saws were used lol fittings bit rusty.

The old BS5973 Table 19 indicated that a scaffold standing over 2 years should have an increased wind factor considered within its design.

Planning permission for Temporary structures may also be required by some local authorities and your client should deal with this directly.
Although many local authorities deal with this grey area in differing ways, some say if its on hire to the client and he is paying a weekly charge, then planning would not be needed,
but if you have a sign on it, then planning would be needed!

Best bet, leave it to the client to sort!
