scaffold pole fixing
Hi all
i have to fit an 8×4 alupanel sign to existing poles which are scaffold poles 49mm any pointers was thinking of an 8×4 sheet ply fixed somehow to the poles and then alupanel screwed to that (?)
the sign is just of floor level and out of the wind.

Hi Derek, the simple way is to use cable ties mate, or if it needs more support then the ply with jubilee clips then screw the sign to it?

hi nick just remebered i have got some of the biggest cable ties ever should do the job will have to put a few selftappers in to keep it from slipping to the ground
thanks mate couldnt see the wood for the trees.

Derek, if you drill 2 holes were the poles are it should not slip mate, you can also put some rubber/foam there to to stop it slipping.

You can also get special scaffolding clamps that grip 2×2 timber

What about sign channel and 50mm clips they would fit a 49mm pole without any problems

thanks guys was going to go with the cable ties then priced up the sign channel and clips and thought go with that then found i had a main supplier of posts clips etc just up the road result
supplier up here is tofco if anybody needs anything. also they were really help-full. they recommended larger poles but as they were already in recommended three channels.etc
http://www.tofco.co.ukthanks again for the advice

Glad you got paid to do a proper job mate 😀

too right nick showed the customer the cheap way and the right way
no competition realy. and he was happy to pay
the cable ties would have worked with the addition of some selftapers etc
but i will sleep a bit easier
plus i now have a local supplier.derek

Glad you got sorted, it always feels better if you do the job properly and you don’t get the customer coming back to you months later
