Boy that brought back some memories, we put it up the same way one pulling and one dallied off. Makes me pucker a bit just seeing the photos.The building that I helped put up was 48x96. My friend and I put the thing up mostly by ourselves, with some help from his wife and occasional help from others. It was quite an adventure!

The guy that sold my friend the building told him that about 10 guys could put one up in a weekend. We tried that and couldn't even get an arch stood up; it was obvious that someone was going to get hurt. Maybe a bunch of apes could wrestle one of the smaller buildings up, but this one was way too big! 18 feet under the middle of the arch!Boy that brought back some memories, we put it up the same way one pulling and one dallied off.

The lifting scaffold that I designed made it easy to stand up an arch, but we were plenty worried about the constant wind blowing the first few down. Then, after about 6 arches, we had problems with the arches spreading at the top to the point that things would no longer line up. Ahh, good times!
Do you have any photos of your lifting scaffold?
