Site Hoarding
Our standard plywood hoarding is 2.4m high. The facing comprises of 18mm exterior grade sheathing plywood fixed to 75mm x 100mm timbers. The timbers are either clipped to the scaffolding by appropriate scaffold clips or secured to a substantial stand-alone timber frame complete with adequate internal bracing to prevent collapse if attacked.All joints of the plywood facing are tightly butted together to prevent tools being used to prize them apart and each joint overlaps a post on the timber frame by 75mm. .100mm annular ring shank nails at 150mm centers are used to fix the plywood boards to the timber frame.The bottom of the hoarding follows the contour of the ground leaving no gaps between the hoarding and the ground. Where the hoarding joins the building the plywood is cut to match closely the contours of the building to prevent any gaps being formed.
Doors
Any doors fitted in the hoarding are of exterior grade solid wood fitted in a purpose built frame. The door and frame are mounted flush with the exterior face of the hoarding. Heavy-duty 75mm x 100mm steel butt hinges are used to hang the door, the hinge pin is burred over to prevent it being driven out.To provide convenient access and emergency escape during working hours a "Yale" latch type lock is usually fitted. However, to secure the door when the site is no longer attended a heavy-duty locking bar can be fitted, secured to the door and frame by bolts bolted through. The locking conceals the bolt heads. A heavy-duty close-shackled padlock can then be used to secure the locking bar. Depending on whether another means of exit is available site security can be further enhanced by having the locking bar on the inside of the door.
Lighting
The exterior of the hoarding can be fitted with red or white 110v bulk lights (60w) to illuminate the pavement and to warn drivers of the obstruction, these are fitted at the top of the hoarding at 1-3 m centers.
Exterior Finish
The hoarding is painted in exterior grade white matt emulsion, the colour of the paint can be varied to suit the colours of your company or the colours of the building.
