Course Details

Scaffolding is a temporary rigid structure made of still, bamboo or timber. The primary aim of constructing a scaffold is to create a platform on which mason can work at different heights. Scaffolds also help to lift materials for the immediate uses at different heights.        

Common types of scaffolding

  • The following 4 types of scaffolding are commonly used in building construction work.
  • Brick layer’s scaffolding or single scaffolding
  • Mason’s scaffolding or double scaffolding
  • Steel or tubular scaffolding
  • Needle scaffolding or cantilever scaffolding

The primary differences between brick layer’s scaffolding and mason’s scaffolding are as follow:

In case of brick layer’s scaffolding single row of standard is fixed into the ground. But in case of mason’s scaffolding two rows of standards are fixed into the ground. First row of standards is fixed close to the wall and second row of standard is fixed at a distance of 1.5 m from the first row. This is why it is named as double scaffolding.

In case of brick layer’s scaffolding one end of putlog is fixed with wall. But in double scaffolding, putlogs are not fixed with the wall. Put logs are supported at both ends on ledgers.

Therefore mason’s scaffolding is completely independent of the wall surface. And there is no need to make any hole on the wall surface. Sometime raking shores are provided to prevent the slipping of scaffolding away from the wall.
