Scaffolding. Buy or make your own?

At a certain stage of building a house is necessary scaffolding. Without them it is impossible to insulate, to mount facade or plaster two-storey house. Installation of gutters, as well as many elements of decoration pitched roof also without forests not perform.

But in scaffolding often have only a temporary need. Plastered house and installed gutters - then they may no longer be needed. In this, many make their own lumber residues, which would then disassemble, apply elsewhere or put it on the wood.

I will not focus on the classical scheme of scaffolding planks. And I give examples of forests with low consumption of materials in the design and simple installation and relocation.

Simple version of scaffolding - the so-called "Armenian Scaffold" or forest type "envelope". But they need a separate high ladder.

By the way, note under the masonry of aerated concrete plinth is made of brick masonry. Why would she? replies this article and in the comments to it.

Such Scaffold need less timber than the classic:

Armenian Scaffold can be very convenient for the construction of walls:

Their height can be easily adjusted. Unlike the other tables and "building the goats."

Video about the production and installation of scaffolding Armenian:

Another type of scaffolding variable (adjustable) high and low consumption of materials in the construction of:

A detailed description of the device, and the author of this video:

For a secure fit, I would do the teeth on those elements that abut the vertical wooden beam. And beam itself need to securely mounted to the wall and at the bottom.

Another interesting type of curtain is not difficult for the forest process of building walls:

The cost of these homemade versions of scaffolding can be different. Armenian, for example, can be made from scrap boards and they are virtually free.

Well, now proceed to the purchase options.

FootLift lift or scaffolding Pump Jack

Analogue of the Russian production - Scaffold LESTEP:

Price is not small per set. Their purchase to make sense only to those teams who are constantly working in the field of facade work. That would not have to carry a large amount of metal scaffolding - you can move several beams 100x100 mm to 4 m, and the metal structure. This will reduce the installation time of forests. A time for them - money, because objects can be painted with a month in advance.

In youtube there is a video which shows how to make similar. Look for on-demand "Pump Jack"

If u buy construction timber, then here are the classic metal. Price tries is not so high. The main issue - it is their transportation to the construction site.

And they can always apply. But the building material, which you will get for homemade classic forests - already spent money to one side. And probably after plastering it is suitable only for firewood.

But also to sell the metal timber after completion of all work, I think, not worth it. You never know what will need to do during the operation at home? Drain tear moves down from the roof of snow or still need to improve ...

Put them behind drovennik or garage (or better hang), cover with foil.

My opinion is that the scaffolding for the construction of walls is possible and necessary to make the most. Or make a high two-level building table. But for facade works and installation of gutters - it is easier and better to buy two sections of metal scaffolding.
