Sam Porter, mural artist at Mural Minded https://muralminded.squarespace.com/ got in touch with High Reaching Solutions as he had an awkward project to do in Bridlington, and wanted to do it safely and efficiently.
His project was to paint a large mural on an end-of-terrace wall. However, he didn’t want to use scaffolding as this would get in the way of his painting and he wouldn’t be able to get an overall view of the scale during the process. He needed an access platform that once set up could reach up and across the whole wall!
This is where it gets awkward. The ground, mainly grassed area surrounded by footpaths, was sloping and occupied with a concrete and wooden bench which couldn’t be moved. The path around the grassed area also contained obstructions, such as trees, street signage, a lamp-post and telecoms cabinets, which also couldn’t be moved.
