What a proper scaffold is made of

Most people only find out their scaffold was cut short when something moves underfoot. Tap any part of the drawing — this is what we build in, every time, and what to look for on anyone's scaffold.

  • The vertical tubes carrying the load down to the ground. They sit on baseplates and sole boards so the weight is spread, not driven into your lawn or block paving.

  • The horizontals. Ledgers run along the face and tie the standards together; transoms cross them and carry the boards. Together they are what stops the frame racking.

  • A full, close-boarded working lift — no gaps to step through, no springy single plank. This is the bit the trades actually stand on all day.

  • A top rail at least 950mm above the platform with an intermediate rail below it, so no unprotected gap is more than 470mm. It is the difference between a working platform and a fall.

  • The upstand along the platform edge that keeps tools, offcuts and brick ends from being kicked off the edge onto whatever — or whoever — is below.

  • Ties fix the scaffold back to the building and diagonal braces stiffen it. An untied scaffold is a sail: this is the part you cannot see from the ground and the part most worth asking about.

  • Every Alpine scaffold is built to be worked from safely and signed off before anyone uses it — book a free survey and we'll show you the design for your building.
