What are the different types of wood scaffolding?
Wood scaffolding can be used in the construction or repair of large and small buildings. The scaffolding made exclusively from wood is rarely visible in developed countries, because these structures are not as stable as scaffolding made of other materials. The scaffold frame is usually made of metal or glass fiber, because these materials are thicker and last longer than wood, but the wood is used as a flat surface for workers. Although wood is often only one component of the scaffold, a number of different types of wood scaffolding are commonly used. Poles are often reinforced with other poles that are attached to the vertical poles at angles and create a number of triangles. A worker can rise to the top of this type of structure using a ladder. The platform at the top of this type of wood scaffolding gives the workers a stable platform that is built on it is an increased certain distance above the ground. Simple wooden scaffolding, like this, is not strong enough to reach more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) above the ground.
More complex wood scaffolding can use wood as part of the scaffolding structure. In most cases, the wooden boards are placed on the top of the scaffolding or at the intervals along its height deployed far enough from each other so that workers can stand and work comfortably at different heights. The frames of these scaffolding are usually made of metal or composite material, such as glass fiber, which are considered thicker than wood framing materials.
Some wooden scaffolding is designed to move from place to place. These scaffolding can be built on a set of locking wheels to be pushed where they are needed and then locked to the place. These scaffolding are not large or high because they are not as stable as the scaffolding that is built at the top of the robust foundation.
Large wood scaffolding can only be constructed for use only in one place. This scaffolding moHou be attached to the hips of buildings and are often set firmly in the ground. If this type of wood scaffold is no longer needed, it can be disassembled and the pieces are reused in another piece of scaffolding.
