To day I thought I just get my scaffolding out which I have been storing outside!!!!
Well ....... Here are some pictures what can happen! At first I thought some one had come round and decided to smash my scaffolding up!!
As you can see two sections of my scaffolding a small section with built in ladder and a larger section with built in ladder have been damaged.
Soon came to realise that the reason they broke was because of water freezing which expanded so much and popped my scaffolding. The reason why the pipes had filled up with water was because because of the ladders. The ladders which are connected to the tubes are the only ones with a complete weld so no water could get out.
Just thought let others know!!
Here is a picture showing the section where the ladders are attached which have a complete weld all the way round
