Scaffold Boards

Scaffolding Boards

Our scaffolding boards are crafted from high-quality European Whitewood timber and meet the BS 2482:2009 standard, ensuring they provide exceptional strength, durability, and safety. Designed for repeated use, these boards create a reliable and supportive walkway within your scaffolding system.

Sizes & Specifications

Scaffolding boards are available in the following lengths: 5ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, and 13ft. They should be securely laid onto transoms within your scaffolding structure to provide a stable platform for staff to access elevated work areas safely.

Key specifications include:

• Width: 225mm (8 7/8 inches)
• Thickness: 38mm (1½ inches)

These dimensions make our boards ideal for supporting workers and construction materials on-site.

Applications & Versatility

Scaffolding boards are highly versatile and can be used across a wide range of industries:

• Construction: Provides a safe, stable platform for building, renovation, maintenance, and repair tasks.
• Industrial Settings: Used in factories, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities for temporary access to equipment, machinery, or storage areas.
• DIY and Landscaping: Suitable for garden projects, furniture making, and other creative applications.

This versatility makes scaffolding boards a practical solution for both professional and personal projects.

Safety & Setup Guidelines

To ensure maximum safety when using scaffolding boards:

• Set up scaffolding on even ground to prevent sliding or tilting.
• Boards should be used in combination with scaffolding tubes and couplers, all available on our site.
• Each board comes with a galvanised metal end band to reduce splitting and extend durability.

Handling Tips

• Wear gloves to prevent splinters.

Please be aware that, as this is made from timber, which is a natural product, these boards, like any wood, can potentially expand and contract depending on storage and room conditions. We would also recommend that gloves be worn when handling these timber scaffolding boards to prevent splinters. Should you need to cut these to size, always be sure to wear breathing and eye protection.
