Kwikstage Scaffolding: problematic diagonals.


Recommended Posts

Have a look at these: if you've built with Kwikstage, you know what's wrong. I've tried loads of fettling and naggling. And you can see that I've thought of a 'fix', but 'ees a bodge, and I no like 'em.

Not a pretty sight is it?

Honestly, I must have spent an hour fiddling about: I took it all back down and started from scratch. I measured the diagonals  -  all within a few mill. 

 

Whas' goin' on eh?

@Dudda beat me to it. They are braces for the long sides, might even be the ones meant for 6 foot ledgers if they are too short for an 8 foot setup.

 

I have never seen really short braces for the ends. Your "solution" or a bracing tower on a longer run
