# Adding a Loading Bay to a Scaffold

Avontus Designer makes it easy for you to add Loading Bays to your scaffold designs.

To add a Loading Bay:

1. Create your design, selecting the bay size from the TB drop-down in the Scaffold tab. In this example, we have selected a Bay size of 8.43 ft or 2.57m for TB
2. Click on a Bay and select B in the Add Bay To… section of the **Scaffold** tab
3. Select the newly added Bay
4. Click the **LR** dropdown and select the appropriate dimension, using the following guidelines: RingType: 2.5m (8' 6") CupType: 2.4m (8' 0") Kwikstage: 2.4m (8' 0")

> [!WARNING]
> **Note:** Loading Bay Transom is Kwikstage only. For other systems, use appropriate load bearing member.

> [!TIP]
> **Note:** If you want to use a different size Loading Bay, you can add one in the Material Master.

8. Click **Apply**
