enclosure and vertical and horizontal debris netting. For years, construction business owners have called on them for their expertise in industrial fabric to help solve their scaffolding problems.
"Our tarps enclose the scaffolds and allow contractors to heat that area, and the tarps make it where the heat does not escape during the inclement weather," says Jay Kinder, President of Strong Man. "So the heat does not go out into the atmosphere, and the men can continue to work in the winter."
Non-Stop Scaffolding says it is the only manufacturer to offer two different types of weather enclosure for mason contractors to choose from one that rides up the scaffold, enclosing only the working area and the wall below; and the other that encloses the entire tower from the ground all the way to the top of the wall.
"The second option is for people who have used conventional frames in the same way and liked that method - their men are used to that form of enclosure," says Breithaupt. "Our weather enclosure is made of the same round tubes as conventional frames, bent along the top for a nice snag-free design, with reinforced polyethylene and wind clips.
"They are designed to be very easy to use and install, most of them with no tools at all."
Hydro Mobile believes versatility is a key ingredient with its accessories. Its weather protection system can be utilized for weather protection to keep the workers comfortable. The weather protection will completely cover the "upper section," or the working area, as well as the area eight feet below the masons' feet, protecting the green brick work from freezing before it is cured.
Serving a dual purpose, the same "Quick Install" weather enclosure frame can also double as a monorail system for transporting and setting large stone, panels or caps. Incorporating the monorail system into the weather protection is just another example of maximizing your investment.
The 'Movers and Shakers'
AND NO OUTFIT IS COMPLETE until you have the perfect pair of shoes, or in this case, the perfect way to move your scaffolding from place to place. Non-Stop Scaffolding also makes a forklift bar and rack brackets, so moving your scaffolding from one place to another is a smooth transition.
