Good morning class! Good morning ma’am.
Let us start our day by asking guidance to
our Lord. Are you ready to pray classmates?
(Name of student) will you lead the prayer? Yes, we are.
Let us pray.
(Prays the Lord’s Prayer)

Class Secretary are there any absent for

today? None, ma’am.
Thank you.

b. Review
Class, do you still remember our lesson Yes, ma’am.
yesterday?
Then can anyone from the class tell me what Our lesson yesterday is about the different

What are those different wood defects?  Bow

 Cupping
 Checking
 Split
 Crook
 Twist
  Wane
 Blue stain
 Machine burn
 Pitch
 Loose knot
 Tight knot
 Wood bores
Alright, since you still remember our lesson
yesterday, let us now proceed to our next
lesson.

c. Lesson Proper

Lecture Discussion
Scaffold is an elevated temporary structure
having platform used to support workers,
equipment and other materials.
For today’s lesson we will be tackling the
parts of wooden scaffolding. The following are
parts:

1. Outrigger is the part of the scaffolds

that holds the platforms.
(shows a picture)

The outrigger is a triangular bracket that

clamps to the bottom of a scaffold tower or
system to increase the base width, in order to
increase stability of the scaffold or tower.

2. Uprights or Posts are used to support

the structure.
 (shows a picture)

The uprights or post are the vertical tubes

that transfer the entire weight of the structure
to the ground where they rest on a square base
plate to spread the load.

3. Platforms are raised floors used to step

on by workers while working.
(shows a picture)

4. Diagonal Braces are used to prevent

the lateral movements of the scaffold.
(shows a picture)

It also called the “X” bracing or cross

bracing. It is a scaffold tube placed diagonally
with respect to the vertical and horizontal
members of a scaffold and fixed them to give
the scaffold stability.
 5. Cleats are fixed to support outriggers.
(shows a picture)

The cleat is a device used for locking the

tubes of a tube and coupler scaffold. It is a
structural block used at the end of a platform to
prevent the platform from slipping.

6. Horizontal Support is a part that holds

the lower portion of the legs or the
upright support of the scaffolding.
(shows a picture)

Since now that I have finished the

discussion on the parts of scaffolding let us
move on into the safety rules in the
construction of wooden scaffolding.
Assemblers and user must be familiar with
the safety rules and must follow safety
practices. Below are the safety rules in
constructing wooden scaffolding, everybody

 Properly secure the supports the bracket

and cantivaler scaffolds.

Alright let us now move on some hints in

the construction of wooden scaffolding.
Everybody will you read..?

A haphazard placing of the different parts of
scaffolding might make it necessary to
dismantle and reconstruct the scaffold. This is
a waste of time, effort and money.
So that the workers on the platform do not
have to stoop or stand on their toes while doing
the job.
 The construction and location of the
different parts of scaffolding should be
well planned so that they will not affect
the proper placing of the building.
 The platform should be at a convenient
height.
 The platforms should be at level, unless
the particular job requires a sloping.

For the class to understand better on how to

construct wooden scaffolding I had prepared a
video presentation. Watch carefully the video.
(play a 10-15 minutes video presentation)

Activity
Since we have finished our lesson, I want
you to identify the pictures that I will be
presenting;
1.  Platform

2.  Cleats

3.  Outriggers

4.
 Uprights or Posts
 5.  Horizontal support

Generalization
1. What is the significance of knowing the
safety rules in constructing wooden
scaffolding?
2. Enumerate the parts of wooden
scaffolding.

IV. Evaluation:

Direction: Identify the parts of wooden scaffolding.

Key to Correction:

Platform

Cleats

Diagonal braces

Uprights

Horizontal Support

V. Assignment:

Research the proper way or procedure in dismantling the scaffolding.
