Great job showing those who don’t understand how much skill and Hard work involved. It a skill trade scaffolding 👍keep it coming .

Love the video put on the top I just use band and plate on the transoms save the 5s

Great video thanks. I've got to use a couple of 8m beams on my next project so this was very helpful.

great bit of work , i've done them myself using the old style 21ft ladder beams and the big 3m unit beams sections.

Do a cantilever one. There nice and maybe one that show how to do a drop down (I forgot what it’s called) You got beams going a cross and you need to put another working lift on but it drops down under the beams, into a Parapet… I hope you know what Im trying to say , it’s hard to explain 👍

If it wasn’t for impact guns I don’t think anyone would scaffold nowadays 😂 good video helps the young lads that don’t really get told this on street work or sites 👍🏻

[@jrscaffolding5901]

That’s what I thought mate help them learn. No one seems to do how to videos on scaffold.

[@Denscaff82]

@@jrscaffolding5901 that’s true! I always tell young lads if you see a big scaffold thats up take 5 minutes and just look at it, you can learn a lot from looking, but a video they can watch on a phone is even better! 👍

You wanna see what they want you doing on course now, plan bracing with 5s all the way down same way like 32 5s to a set of 8m beams 🤦

You do it on swivels off the top cord, it's a right pain in the arse, it's honestly a nightmare

Top cord is every 1.2 meters not a meter and bottom is every 2.4 meters

[@AJAXLDS]

@@caenmarshall1336 yeah true but since bay sizes are usually 2m for punch ups most just do the 1m and 2m so tie tubes land at punch ups as checks

[@JakeHudsonJMH]

1.2 and 2.4 respectively are the maximum spacing for chords anything less than would only increase the strength of the structure unless overloaded with kit. Only have to work to tg20 if you can't provide a better alternative. Same example for transom spacings.. 1.2 max. There is circumstances you would smaller spacing in the real world.
