I've never used scaffolding and no nothing abt it

can someone tell me if a "home" scaffolding set exist
such that one can do some work to outside of typical
home?

I don't need heavy duty industrial scaffolding.... but
do need something tough enough to support a couple of
men and related equipment to work on the side of a
typical one story home say abt 12 feet tall

For this, the best option is usually to rent it from a local tool
rental company.

The "light duty" 4' wide x 6' tall scaffold frames are good for home
use. They're still good for like 1,500# of load on them, "light duty" is
relative to industrial use. I have 8 frames, four of the good Alumaplank
planks and all the appropriate cross braces, leveling feet, etc.

This setup covers pretty much any configuration you might need for home
use and for those occasional big jobs like replacing a roof, you can
always rent additional parts as needed. The Alumaplanks are kind of
expensive, but they are highly recommended for home use as they are much
lighter and easier to handle than regular 2x scaffold grade planks. Do
not ever use generic 2x material for scaffold planks BTW, they are not
safe.

Thanks so much Pete!

I was gonna ask if there was some LIGHT planks out
there

I live alone and truly to buy light things so much
easier for one person to move around

Like I said....I just need something for typical round
the house jobs....single story home

I'm not real keen on standing on wobbly ladders any
more
