Scaffold Size

Straight run along one wall. Dimensions in metres.

Running metres

Length along the wall. Packed in 2.5 m bays; any remainder takes the next stocked ledger up.

Height (m)

Top of the standards. Platforms every 2.0 m with a rail 1.0 m above each.

Platform width

The width is the cross ledger between the inside and outside standards.

Planks

Plank length

Planks run along the scaffold on transoms at every standard line and mid-bay.

Boarded lifts

Rail the two end frames (width ledger at rail height) Include toe boards, ties & clamps

How it is built

Two rows of standards, one line per bay edge, stacked from 3.0 m and 2.5 m pieces with the fewest joints (6 m = 3 + 3).
Base ledger on both rows; at every lift a platform ledger on both rows and one guardrail ledger on the outside only — the inside stays open.
Width ledgers on every standard line at the base and each lift; the two end frames get a width ledger at rail height too.
Transoms of the platform width sit on the running ledgers; planks sit on the transoms.
Every other bay is braced on the outside face: one black tube per 3 m of height, 2 swivels each.

Take-off estimate — not a certified design

This calculator gives a material take-off for a straight, two-row cuplock access scaffold. Corners, returns, loading bays and stair towers are not included.

The final scaffold design must be prepared by a competent designer and the erected scaffold inspected before use. Contact our engineering team for a certified design package.
