Wall-tie spacing along the wall for FERMAR Fer48
ScaFix ties FERMAR Fer48 every 4 m in height. Along the wall a tie sits on a standard, so the spacing is always a whole number of bays: for a wall built from one bay length, the table shows how many bays lie between two tied standards and the spacing that gives. Rule: FERMAR «Andamio Europeo Fer48»: página web (2025) § «Montaje» «La separación entre amarres será de 4 mtrs en altura y 6 en longitud». ScaFix is a planning tool, not a structural approval.
| Bay length | Bays between ties | Tie spacing along the wall |
|---|---|---|
| 3 m | 2 | 6 m |
| 2.5 m | 2 | 5 m |
| 2 m | 3 | 6 m |
| 1.5 m | 4 | 6 m |
