What wind loading does to your programme

Debris netting turns a scaffold into a sail. Sheeting turns it into a wall. Both change the tie pattern, and both change the price.

More ties, not fewer

A sheeted elevation can carry several times the wind load of an open one. That means a denser tie pattern, and on a building where you cannot drill, it can mean rakers, kentledge or a redesign. This is why we ask about sheeting at the survey rather than halfway through.

Decide early, once

Adding netting to a structure designed without it is not a small change. If there is any chance you will need it, say so at the quote stage and we will design for it from the start.
