Scaffpad

Timber Scaffold boards in the UK must comply with BS 2482. Steel or aluminium decking is used or laminate scaffold boards as well as timber.

 

Scaffolding sole boards are placed beneath the scaffolding if the surface is soft or otherwise suspect. Normally ordinary boards are used but a design called the scaffolding scaffpad which is made from a rubber base with a base plate moulded inside is another option, Scaffpad works well on uneven ground because it adapts to any ground where sole boards would split costing more money to replace.

Scaffolding Hoop Irons

Scaffolding Boards provide a platform surface to support users of the scaffold. They are seasoned hardwood, they come in three thicknesses (38 mm (usual), 50 mm and 63 mm) are a standard width (225 mm) and are a maximum of 3.9 m long. The scaffolding board ends are protected by metal plates called scaffolding hoop irons or sometimes scaffolding nail plates.
