Hi,
I am a self builder looking to erect my own scaffolding around a 1930's semi detached house, I have some basic knowledge and diagrams from 'Scaftag' to help me work to some sort of a standard.
I have been offered standard diameter (48.3mm) tube, but it is only 8ft lengths, I am considering buying some 'sleeves' and joining tubing as I go up, probably 3 lots of 8ft will do me.
I am looking to build a platform over the front garden and have material dropped up there by the delivery trucks crane, hence my concern over using shorter lengths I guess it would require a lot more 'braces' ?
Am I thinking right - or is something amis - and hence why the 8ft tube is cheap. Any other advice also - for a first timer.
Thanks
