Scaffolding is a temporary structure used by construction workers to work at heights. It consists of wooden planks and metal poles. There are different types of scaffolding used depending on the building material and height. The main parts include standards, ledgers, braces, putlogs, transoms, boarding, and guard rails. Single scaffolding uses one row of standards while double scaffolding uses two rows. Cantilever scaffolding extends out from buildings. Suspended scaffolding hangs a working platform from ropes.

3. SCAFFOLDING is temporary
structure on the outside of a
building, made of wooden planks
and metal poles, used by workmen
while building, repairing, or
cleaning the building.
It’s the temporary platform
required for masons to work at
height of more than 1.5m.

4. PARTS OF SCAFFOLDING
Scaffolding consists of the following parts
 Stantards
 Ledgers
 Braces
 Putlogs
 Transome
 Boarding
 Guard rail

6. 1.STANTARDS
Stantards are the vertical post
2.LEDGERS
These are horizontal members
parallel to the wall.
3.BRACES
These are diagonal members fixed
on stantards

8. *PUTLOGS
These are horizontal members in the
directions normal to wall.
*TRANSOME
These are putlogs with both end
supported on ledgers
*BOARDING/ PLATFORM
These are the stands in which workers
stand.
*GUARD RAIL
This is a railing provided at a height 0.8-
1.0m above the working platform

10. TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING
Different types of scaffolding are
 SINGLE SCAFFOLDING
DOUBLE SCAFFOLDING
CANTELEVER
SCAFFOLDING
SUSPENDED
SCAFFOLDING

11. SINGLE SCAFFOLDING• It consists of only one row of
stantards spaced at about 1.2 m
from wall.
• The spacing between the
stantards is about 2 to 2.4m.
• Ledgers are placed at 1.2 to
1.5m.
• Putlogs rest on ledgers at one
end and on the hole left in the
wall at the other end.
• The spacing of putlogs is 1.2 to

12. DOUBLE SCAFFOLDING
It consists of 2 rows of
scaffoldings.The first row is at a
distance of 200 to 300mm from the
wall.The type of scaffolding is
required in the construction of stone
wall since its not possible to leave the
holes in the walls to receive putlogs.

14. CANTELEVER SCAFFOLDING
THIS TYPE OF SCAFFOLDINGS ARE
REQUIRED IN FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS
• The construction work is in the
upper parts of multistorey
buildings.
• The ground is too weak to
receive the strands.
• The space at the ground level is
required to be free of
obstruction

16. SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING
This type of scaffolding is
mainly used for white washing,
colour wasing or for painting
works.In this type a working
platform is suspended from the
roof by means of ropes, wires
or chain.The platform can be
