Wind & Shrink-Wrap: Safe Working Limits for UK Scaffolds
How EcoShrink helps you balance productivity and protection when the weather turns gusty Site-specific scaffold design must still follow NASC/TG20 or engineer-designed solutions. The trigger speeds and actions here are practical guidance, not a substitute for formal design. When sheeting turns into a sail: a real-world example of wind overload and inadequate ties bringing an entire scaffold down. Why wind matters more on a wrapped scaffold Shrink-wrapping creates a continuous
