Scaffold Tarp Enclosure Systems for Winter
October 2, 2017
When colder weather begins arriving, scaffold enclosure systems become the focus as keeping work areas shielded from snow and low temperatures becomes a priority. Some exterior scaffolding jobs require that the work being done is completed at particular temperatures that the cold of winter can drop below. What is the solution to get through the issue of cold and adverse winter weather? The answer is tarp or scaffold sheeting systems.
Seacoast Scaffold is a proud distributor of Monarflex Flamesafe sheeting and accessories to help with site covering, containment and weather protection. Tarps help protect not only the jobsite from potential weather delays, but also the surrounding area and public from any debris. These tarps are extremely durable, easy to install and reusable, meaning you could bring them from job to job. We also use these systems on our winter erection jobs, when contractors need to put heat to the work they’re doing, keep their employees warm or just to protect against wind and snow.

The tarp is secured to the scaffold with anchors and straps that fit through plastic grommets that are already embedded to the tarp. These anchors and straps are strong enough to withstand winds up to 72mph, meaning that except for a generational nor’easter, they can handle the harsh New England winters.
There is even the ability to put a door panel directly into the tarping to make access to a stairway or ladder easier and without leaving an opening or gap in the structure’s tarp, making the product extremely versatile for construction needs.

We carry anything a contractor could possibly need for a tarping job. This includes rolls that are 7’4” x 137’ or 13’ x 157, anchors and straps and more. If you think you’ll need tarp for an upcoming project, don’t hesitate to give us a call and request a quote.
