Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges and all other man-made structures.

- Single scaffolding

- Steel scaffolding
- Double scaffolding
Scaffolding is a temporary structure that is typically made from metal poles and wood planks and used to support construction workers, inspectors, cleaners, and others who need to work at height. A scaffold, also called scaffolding or staging, is a temporary structure that allows people to stand on a stable platform for work at height or in hard-to-reach places.
These temporary structures are often used in constructing, maintaining, or repairing buildings, bridges, and other man-made structures by supporting work crews and materials.
Single scaffolding is generally used for brick masonry and is also called as brick layer’s scaffolding.
Double Scaffolding is generally used for stone masonry so, it is also called as mason’s scaffolding.
Cantilever Scaffolding
This a type of scaffolding in which the standards are supported on series of needles and these needles are taken out through holes in the wall.
In suspended scaffolding, the working platform is suspended from roofs with the help of wire ropes or chains etc., it can be raised or lowered to our required level.


Supported scaffolds are most commonly used in construction, and they’re one of the go-to options when it comes to building temporary structures for work at height. This kind of scaffolding is simple, cost-effective, and built from the base upwards.
A supported scaffold can have many forms, each of which serves a specific purpose. If the scaffolding is long or needs to support a lot of weight, workers may need to add additional support to its base.
