Building the Tower
Fit a temporary deck on the lowest
rungs. Fit a trapdoor deck on the
4
th
rung (2.0m) with the trapdoor next
to the ladder. Ensure the trapdoor is
positioned with the hinges towards the
outside of the tower as shown. Climb the
ladder and, from the protected trapdoor
position, fit guardrails on the 5
th
and 6
th
rungs (in that order) on both sides of the
platform.
Do not climb onto the deck until all
guardrails are in place.
When horizontal braces are fitted as
guardrails, they should be 0.5m and 1.0m
(1 and 2 rungs) above the platform level
in all cases. Remove the temporary deck
from the lowest rung.
Fit stabilisers
(see notes on
page 9
).
