BRACING & TYING-IN
DIAGONAL FACE BRACING
All scaffolds require a certain amount of diagonal bracing to eliminate any tendency for the scaffold to distort or sway. For a scaffold more than 10 meters (4 Bays of 2.5 m) long, a minimum of 2 bays should be face braced. Bracing of the end bays should be avoided if possible. Face bracing is required over a full height for one bay in every four.

TYING-IN
Every scaffold must be tied to the permanent structure members used for connecting of scaffold to a building are called 'ties'. Ties can be taken through window openings or clamped to columns. Where these openings are not available than anchor fasteners are used.
Level of tying = 3 to 4 times width of scaffold (tying should be done in staggered arrangement)
