2x12 boards 8' long make acceptable walk boards and are about $10 each, assuming workers under 200#. If ground slopes or is softĪnd you have a lot of bushes to deal with it will take longer. Plan for a day or so to set up a 40' scaffold length of house. If ground is level (where is that!!) and you have some strong backs Broke arm, leg and neck and upper thoracic vertebra. The back of his house, only 20-30' up and he came in when the scaffold fell over with him Saw a guy in the ED back in the '80s that scaffolded On the outside of our scaffolding as weights so the scaffold won't shift toward the house Level, plumb and seated on something that will not sink. Really need to anchor the scaffold to the building and everything needs to be absolutely My butt puckers at 3 sections high and we set up boards behind us at waist height. 40' up means 6 sections high (about 6' out of each section) and you need to spend considerable time in setup. Cost is $28 for 'one section', ie two verticals and two cross Transport either by you or by companyĭepending on how much. Scaffold around here can be rented by anyone. Is this a just plain stupid idea for a 56 year old to try to paint a house? Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? What did you learn? So when I start calling companies what questions should I ask? I know nothing about scaffolding so I would want some one that knows what their doing to erect it. would be a summer project and I could use the exercise. I would want to get one complete with back railing and maybe stairs I could go and paint a little each morning. Anyway if I could walk around and work from a scaffold safely. So I was thinking if I had this house covered in scaffolding, lets say have half covered and when done have it moved to the other half. the problem is a that all takes a 40' ladder and can't and won't do that. most of it is not even that high up however the third floor and the eves that stick out some 2'. And when you really look at the house there is really not that much wood to paint. When I look at what I have done myself in the areas I can reach it has held up good. In looking over the years what neighbors have had done at costs sometimes over 20K it doesn't hold up that well. I have had estimates and they range in the 10K + for a job that is not that great. I need my house painted! My house is mostly stone and brick however the second and third floor are wood. Need help choosing a frame style? See the differences in frame types and styles here.I have a problem that I have to solve this year. If you already have a specific style such as Safeway scaffolding, Waco scaffolding or Big-Jax scaffolding, we have scaffolding that will match up and integrate with each of these styles and work seamlessly with them. Pattern Matches for Various Scaffolding Styles However, if you already have most the pieces you need, and only need a specific frame or accessory, no problem, we sell pieces individually as well. When you purchase by the set, you know that you will be getting all the essential accessories you need to stack the scaffolding and it is easier to calculate how many boards, screw jacks and other accessories you will need when you purchase this way. Purchasing by the set is less expensive than purchasing each piece individually. Saving a few dollars per frame is not worth the safety risk. This rust creates failure points in the scaffolding, making it considerably weaker and less durable than our frames. We have tested some of our competitor's scaffolding frames and discovered that they make their frames from recycled steel. Please be aware that some of the competition makes their frames from recycled steel, which contains rust and is not as strong or durable as our frames. If you see bargain basement prices for new scaffolding frames, it's a good idea to investigate those frames to make sure they are durable enough to keep you safe. We Wary of Recycled Steel Frames Sold by Some Competitors You can find a link to our test results here. Our scaffolding sets are made from high-quality steel (not recycled) and are tested at Texas A & M to ensure that our quality exceeds OSHA guidelines and the competition.
