What Is a Scaffold?
A scaffold is defined as an elevated, temporary work platform. There are three basic types of
scaffolds:
1. Supported scaffolds, which consist of one or more platforms supported by rigid, load- bearing
members, such as poles, legs, frames, outriggers, etc.
2. Suspended scaffolds, which are one or more platforms suspended by ropes or other non-rigid,
overhead support.
3. Other scaffolds, principally manlifts, personnel hoists, etc., which are sometimes thought of
as vehicles or machinery, but can be regarded as another type of supported scaffold.

Single scaffolding is generally used for brick

masonry and is also called as brick layer’s
scaffolding. Single scaffolding consists of
standards, ledgers, putlogs etc., which is
parallel to the wall at a distance of about 1.2
m. Distance between the standards is about 2
to 2.5 m. Ledgers connect the standards at
vertical interval of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Putlogs are
taken out from the hole left in the wall to one
end of the ledgers. Putlogs are placed at an
interval of 1.2 to 1.5 m
