The same straight walls with each system

Five straight walls of 2 to 10 bays, 4 to 12 m high, one per row. Each system uses its own longest bay, so the lengths differ slightly.

How to choose between them

  • Use the system you own or can rent nearby: a mixed yard costs more than a few extra pieces.
  • Check the bay lengths against your facades: more bay lengths fit odd lengths more closely.
  • Compare the depths: a deeper scaffold gives more room to work but uses different decks and transoms.
  • Count the pieces to handle, not only the price per piece: more pieces mean more transport and erection time.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and approval for ties and loads; ScaFix plans, it does not approve.

Questions and answers

Which needs more parts, Layher Allround or PERI UP?

On ScaFix’s 11.4 m × 5.3 m example house, Layher Allround needs 481 parts and PERI UP 567. On a straight 4-bay wall 6 m high, Layher Allround needs 166 and PERI UP 152. The count follows the bay length, the depth and how each system is built.

Can I plan both Layher Allround and PERI UP in ScaFix?

Yes. Both are in the system picker with their own bay lengths and depths, and ScaFix draws the scaffold in 3D and works out the parts list for each.

Is a ScaFix comparison an approval of either system?

No. ScaFix is a planning tool. Erection, ties and loads follow the manufacturer’s instructions and approvals, checked by a competent person.
