Kwikstage Scaffolding: problematic diagonals.

Featured Replies

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?

 

 

 

Are they not long side diagonals? For the 8" side not the 4" side?

I'm really tired. I'll take the hint and stop for the day. The next mistake will be worse.

@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

@ProDave Geewhizz, I thought quick stage was for little jobs like doing ceiling electrics or fitting first floor joists. Did you dispense with regular rented big boys scaffolding?
