A mount comprises a base having opposed upper and lower surfaces and at least one channel on the upper surface of the base extending in a first horizontal direction. The at least one channel comprises a head-mounting feature constructed and arranged to removably retain a rail head in the first horizontal direction. At least one curtain attachment mechanism is constructed and arranged to secure a curtain, wherein the at least one curtain attachment mechanism extends in a direction that is transverse to the first horizontal direction. A socket positioned at the lower surface of the base is constructed and arranged to interface with a pole.

Rigid foam-core construction underlayment is formed to have one broad side covered by a flexible substrate that carries a series of spaced-apart, discrete regions (such as islands or spaced lanes) of resin, each resin region carrying a respective field of male touch fastener elements extending away from the substrate and exposed for engagement, such as by fibers on an inner surface of exterior construction material, such as a roofing membrane.

A debris containment system includes channel units that are configured to attach to perimeter structural members of the building (e.g., vertical columns and/or horizontal beams) and extend outward from the perimeter of the building. Channel units can be produced in any length or lengths needed for a given application. These channel units are used to lift and support barrier members (e.g., nets, tarps, canvas/fabric, or other barrier members) to create barriers along the perimeter of the building. Importantly, these channel units are generally attached directly or indirectly (e.g., via temporary vertical members) to structures that will remain on the building (e.g., structural columns and beams of the building) as opposed to being used with separate framing structures erected outside of the building perimeter, although in some exemplary embodiments, channel units can be used on structures erected outside of the perimeter of the building.

A temporary enclosure for enveloping a building under renovation, having a flexible cover material and a rigid support frame supporting the flexible cover material, where the rigid support frame has enclosure wall supports and scaffolding connecting the enclosure wall supports and the building, thereby reducing inclement weather access to the building during the renovation.

A joining part for a multipurpose system for partitioning a premise and protecting it, regardless of its configuration, in particular angular, includes a contact pad with a bearing surface comprising a cylinder. Two superposed rings are fitted around the cylinder of the pad and are mounted so as to rotate with respect to one another. Each ring includes a protrusion for fastening a longitudinal element of the partitioning system. The joining part also includes a support base for a telescopic prop. The support base and the contact pad include complementary fastening means configured such that the rings are free to rotate about the cylinder but butt against the pad and the base.

Systems and methods for collecting roofing debris are provided. A number of support poles are provided, each of which are configured to rest against a wall of a structure being serviced. A debris collection chute comprising a number of attachment points spaced apart along an upper edge of the debris collection chute is also provided. Each of the support poles comprise an attachment device configured to selective engage one of the number of attachment points such that the debris collection chute is suspended in a vertical orientation at an angle from the wall.

The present invention relates in general to the protection of central air conditioning systems during roof demolition and replacement, and more specifically, to a protective roofing shield for an outdoor air conditioning unit and method of use. One aspect of the protective roofing shield includes a framework and canopy that partially encloses the outdoor air conditioning unit to guard against falling debris while not obstructing air flow to the outdoor air conditioning unit to prevent damage to the unit. The protective roofing shield may be adjustable in height and length to be compatible with different sizes, manufacturers and locations of outdoor air conditioning units. The protective roofing shield and method of use is designed to be easily assembled, disassembled, and conveniently transported from one roofing job site to another by a single user to improve efficiency for a roofing contractor.

A covering of a damaged or uncompleted building; the covering including a film of heat shrinkable material stretched over damaged or uncompleted portions of the building; the film formed as a sheet comprising an assembly of lengths of the heat shrinkable material applied to surfaces of the building.

An improved scaffolding tie (1c) for connecting a scaffolding tarpaulin (8) to a scaffolding pole (9) is disclosed. The tie (1c) comprises an anchor (4c) for anchoring the tie (1c) to the scaffolding tarpaulin(S), an attachment portion (6c) for attaching the tie (1c) to a scaffolding pole (9), and a ligament (5c). The ligament (5c) is connected between the anchor (4c) and the attachment portion (6c) and arranged, in use, to bias the anchor and attachment portion towards one another. The attachment portion (6c) comprises a fastening means (2c) and a connector piece (60c) arranged, in use, to reversibly connect to one another to form a loop around a scaffolding pole (9).
