I need to calculate the wind speed required to lift a small flat unsecured scaffold platform 2'x 8' with a self weight of 30lb and supporting a load of 150lb positioned 1' in from one end. The scaffold is an open tube structure. I have approached this with wind loading for buildings calcs but I am uncertain that these are applicable to such a small surface. Any advice wecome!
