Setting Up Scaffolding

Framed scaffolds offer several advantages over ladder-jack assemblies. They provide a wider platform working surface. Their main components consist of frames. Scaffolds higher than two sections can become unstable. The most common frame section is 5 feet wide. In addition to base plates and guardrails. When you are computing the height you need. Assembly is more time-consuming. Get sections tall enough to bring you to the height of the wall with two stacked units.
