Venturing Vortex 2005 - Scaffolding

We need a total of 13 sections of scaffolding. We will have five towers. Three towers are three sections tall. Two are two sections tall.

Each section (buck) of scaffolding requires two frames, two crossbars, and a complete platform (three pieces of decking).

Frames

The two basic styles of scaffolding are indicated by the shape of the end frame.

"Mason" style frame

The standard size is 5 ft x 5 ft (sometimes 6 ft 4 in tall)
*** We prefer this Mason style frame ***

"Walk Through" style frame.
standard size is 6 ft. 4 in. high by 5 ft. wide.

Cross Brace

Cross braces come in two basic lengths, 7 ft. and 10 ft. The 7 ft. wide by 4 ft. tall is the standard size.

Baseplates

We need five sets (set of 4) of leveling jacks with baseplate..

If you get baseplates without leveling jacks, then we will need lots of pieces of wood to level the scaffolding.

Decking

Decking (platform) is matched to the length of the crossbars.
The standard is 7 ft. long decking.
The standard width is 19 inches. Some are 19 1/4 inches wide.
Three of these placed side by side make one complete platform.
