i think it might be 300mm for the sake of a left handed plaster on the right hand side of the building if that makes sence

lol if you have a plaster on a scaffold if his left handed wehn eh gets to the right hand side of the building its good to give them another 300mm past the building for him to be able to plaster left handed and also the same on the other side if he was to be right handed

Now i get it marra , the scaffold can be 300mm past the end of the building

The old BS5973 used to say that a scaffold should extend past the end of the building. Not sure about TG20 will have to read it again tomorrow.

Thats just an oversail marra,not a cantilever,a cant is a triangle or angle an when used in conjunction with supporting a overhang becomes a cantilever as we know it,you would'nt support 300mm so it's not even a cantilever,feck i'm confused now,are we even talking about the same thing lol:wondering::huh:

I think the original idea was that the scaffold went past the actual work face so negating the need for any leaning.
