If you are considering shrink wrapping scaffolding (either to provide weather protection or environmental containment to a construction project) this short presentation takes you step by step through the shrink wrap installation process for scaffolding structures. If you find this helpful, you can get more information about what materials and equipment are required for scaffold shrink wrapping and and get some tips on how to get the best deal from your supplier at www.rhinoshrinkwrap.com

1. Scaffold Shrink Wrapping : The Process

2. HELLO!
I’m Steve Irlam
Managing Director of
Rhino Shink Wrap.
I’ve been shrink wrapping scaffolding
since 2009. I started out ‘on the tools’
and now I help customers achieve the
results they want from their scaffold
shrink wrap projects.

3. SHRINKS ‘DRUM TIGHT’
= no site visits to repair wind damage
WELDED JOINS BETWEEN SHEETS
= better ‘containment’ & weather
protection
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
= happy customers & more repeat work
How is Shrink Wrap Different?

4. For best results, scaffold structure should
be flush. Shrink wrap can be cut around
protrusions but it can affect performance
and appearance
For external shrink wrap sheeting maximum
untied vertical distance for scaffold shrink
wrap = 3 lifts/ 6m

Avoid installing shrink

Overlap shrink wrap around scaffolding tube by
30-40cm and use clip to hold before heat welding

The propane gas gun bonds overlapped

The heat gun is used to shrink
the scaffold wrap ‘drum tight’
Hold the gun 30-40cm from the shrink
wrap and work the heat over the
shrink wrap – like spray painting

To repair small holes after
heat shrinking use Patch
Tape
Larger areas can be repaired by cutting a
patch of shrink wrap and heat welding into
position
