SCL Scaffold Sheeting helps ensure that site work continues in virtually all-weather conditions, protecting personnel from rain, snow and wind chill.
For Weather Protection
If the prime purpose is to protect personnel against wind and rain, then upper sheets must overlap the lower sheets externally to ensure rain runs down the outside of the sheeting.
For Containment
If the prime purpose is to protect the surrounding area from the impact of demolition, then the upper sheets must overlap lower sheets internally to contain debris within the sheeting.
Scaffolding Design
When scaffold sheeting is to be installed, the structure must be designed to all relevant BS standards & codes of practice to accommodate the increase in wind loadings. Guidance should always be obtained by a qualified scaffold designer, or structural engineer before any sheeting is installed, and not before a full risk assessment has been carried out.
