Wind loading is the action of wind on a scaffold and its coverings, considered in assessment of the structure and its use.
What does this mean for your project?
Conditions relate to factors including exposure, height and the selected arrangement. A sheltered impression from street level is not a complete assessment. The responsible professional determines the information and assumptions relevant to the actual location rather than relying on appearance alone.
Covering or a banner added later can change the situation. Explain what you intend to screen and why during the enquiry. Users should not assume that an empty outside face is available for their own attachments simply because there appears to be room.
Daily use needs project-specific arrangements for assessing conditions and communicating decisions. This definition provides no calculation or universal wind threshold. Report visible changes and follow the agreed process instead of adjusting sheets or connections yourself in response to changing weather.

Does this site specify a safe wind speed?
No. A general value without knowledge of the structure and location would be inadequate. Follow the specific project information.
Is scaffold netting relevant to this assessment?
Covering belongs in assessment of the arrangement. Discuss the proposed material and purpose with the responsible provider beforehand.
