Plastic Sheeting, Debris Netting and Brick Guards

  1. Overview of Cladding and Brick Guards

    Cladding refers to the protective layer or covering applied to the exterior of the scaffolding structure. This can include plastic sheeting, debris netting and even brick guards. These components are used to contain debris and dust as well as shield the work area from adverse weather conditions.

  2. Applying Cladding or Brick Guards on Scaffolds

    Plastic Sheeting or Debris Netting can be selected from the Add-ons toolbar; choose either the Sheeting or Debris Netting tool or click on the drop-down arrow to pick a colour to select a cladding tool. Brick guards on the other-hand can be selected from the same Add-ons toolbar; then click the Brick Guards Tool.

    Now the next step is to apply the Cladding / Brick Guards by clicking on a Scaffold Lift. Once you apply either tool, everything highlighted in red will be covered with cladding or brick guards.

    Shift Functionality

    If you wish, you can also apply cladding or brick guards to all lifts above the lift that you are highlighting. Press and hold the Shift key while hovering the mouse over the lifts; you will notice that all lifts above the current one are also selected. Afterwards, apply the Cladding or Brick Guards tool. This will apply to all of the above lifts, expediting the process.

    Ctrl Functionality

    Moreover, you have the option of isolating the highlights, so that cladding or brick guards are placed on one elevation. Press and hold the Ctrl key while hovering the mouse over the lifts; you will notice that the building elevations are only highlighted on one side. Once you apply the cladding or brick guards tool, it’ll only affect the elevation selected.
