I am new to this forum and would like to pose a question that I am struggling with regards TG20:08 on ties.
On page 18 of volume 1 figure 1 (typical independent tied scaffold) indicates that ties should be every other lift as a minimum.
I understand this, but a number of persons involved in the new house building field keep informing me that ties are not required on a standard square box type house because the scaffold is tied at each of the 4 corners.
Could someone please clarify the matter.
Regards
Steve
