Yes 63mm fits snug over a scaffolding pole,not bad for a first attempt should have put my boards down first and then I would have had them in line,it is 10' wide at one end and 9'10" wide at the other :-[

Nice job Buster if i may give you a tip you need to put some anti heat tape or some thing else IE carpet between the uncovered scaffold poles and the skin.
