• Regardless if you are under contract to build a
  10-story luxury hotel for the Marriott or you
  simply want to do a roofing or structural repair
  on your home, it is imperative to have some
  rudimentary knowledgeable about scaffolding.
  Scaffoldings are structures that are temporarily
  erected for repair, construction or decoration of
  commercial buildings, homes or other edifices.
  Not only is it important to purchase or rent the
  correct type of scaffolding to insure that the
  job is done correctly, but also to maintain the
  safety of the construction workers employed on
  the job. It is estimated that 65 of those
  employed in the construction industry frequently
  work on scaffolds. Therefore, it should not be
  surprising that some of the most common accidents
  on worksites involve injuries incurred on or
  related to scaffolds.Scaffolds are erected of
  easily assembled structures of steel or timber.
  On these frameworks, working platforms are placed
  for easy accessibility to high elevations of a
  building or other structure under construction or
  repair. There are two primary categories of
  scaffolding, fixed and mobile. check out
  Scaffolders Sutton for more info.

•  Fixed Scaffolds
• Fixed scaffolds are constructed alongside a
  building and can be either independent or putlog.
  The independent scaffold has standards or
  uprights on both sides of its working platforms.
  This allows the independent scaffold to remain
  upright without support from the building under
  construction or repair.The putlog scaffold has
  standards or uprights along its outer edges, but
  its inner side is supported by the structure or
  building itself. Putlogs have flattened ends that
  are placed between courses of brickwork in the
  building or edifice to add support. The putlogs
  are used to support a working platform.
  Independent sshould also be secured or tied to
  the structure under repair or construction at
  various intervals to lend support to its overall
  stability. visit Scaffold Erectors
• Mobile Scaffolds
• A mobile scaffold is a type of freestanding
  independent scaffold. It is mounted on castors or
  wheels that swivel and allow the scaffold to be
  easily moved from location to location.

• Suspended or Swingstage Scaffold
• A suspended or swingstage scaffold has a platform
  that can be raised or lowered. An example of a
  suspended scaffold are those commonly used as a
  means to wash the outer windows on highrises.
• Hanging Bracket Scaffold
• Hanging bracket scaffolds may have horizontal
  structures that are supported by the floors of
  the building or other edifice under construction
  or repair. These scaffolds should be designed by
  an engineer and include load testing and other
  safety measures.
• Before purchasing or renting a particular
  scaffold, you must determine the scope of the
  project including your particular situation,
  budget, and needs. You must first know what
  function you want your scaffold to achieve. Does
  your project consist of a single story building
  or will it have multiple levels? What is the
  design of the building or other structure under
  construction or repair? How long do you project
  that you will need the scaffolding? What is your
  estimated budget? Once you have answered these
  questions, you can best determine the scaffolding
  that is best suited for your needs within your
  budget.

• When estimating your budget on scaffolding, make
  sure not to put price before safety. Skimping on
  price can be costly both economically and
  emotionally if there were to be an injury or
  death due to improper or faulty scaffolding. A
  few Internet sites that both sell and rent
  scaffolding have estimator tools. These tools
  enable you to design the scaffolding for your
  particular needs and project and then tell you
  what would be needed for your design. Check
