Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Feb 12, 2009 4:29 pm Hi guys
I have received advice about rendering that suggests that you should leave 10cm clearance from the ground and the render. What do you think of this? And, my friend also said that the edge of the render should have scaffold to help prevent water getting behind the render. What does he mean by scaffold? I couldn't find anything in google in regards to render & scaffold.
