How to make scaffolding with their hands

The construction of a house is a responsible action that requires a judicious approach, materials, tools and devices. The latter could be considered scaffolding. These designs are used to do finishing work at high altitude.

Allow scaffolding at a height of from 4 to 10 meters to carry out such work:

• hem Gables,
• to do siding,
• install the drain and so on.

In fact, the finishing work is more than enough. Moreover, the scaffolding can be done above 10 meters, but there is one but this design requires industrial facilities and corresponding engineering knowledge. It is unlikely that you will be able to do it with their own hands in accordance with all the rules.

Many decide to make the scaffolding with their hands because their rent is still very expensive. Moreover, you have to pay a lot for shipping. Given the fact that the finishing work can last several months — it is more profitable to build a design of their own.

Select material ↑

In principle, there are only two alternatives. You can do the scaffolding with their hands out of metal or wood. And each option has its pros and cons.

As an example, take a metal forest. Make them with your own hands is not so very simple. Moreover, it requires special equipment and materials that most likely will have to buy. But at the same time the design of this type has incredible stability and lifespan. It allows you to do the most difficult work on a considerable height.

If you rely on the experience of people who were faced with this question, most are inclined to think that the metal scaffolding can be done only if you have the necessary metal. Buying it is quite expensive. But if you want to make it a business, costs should be recouped.

Scaffolding wood to make your own hands is quite simple. Moreover, after use can be easily disassembled, and the Board, for example, to burn in the fireplace or the stove. In fact — it is a disposable structure that is destroyed after one cycle of operation, or given to a neighbor.

Of course, the reliability of the wooden scaffolding that you can do with your hands at times inferior to the metal counterpart. But they cost practically nothing. Every country site you can find the appropriate materials. Your main tools in this context are the hammer and nails.

The main drawback of hardwood forests is their low strength and low resistance. Of course, if you do it well, then this design can be used. Therefore, it is important to follow the instructions.

Plastic — reality or fiction ↑

Now increasingly construction forums you can see entire threads dedicated to plastic scaffolding. Of course, they exist and have many important advantages over wood and metal products. But to produce them in an industrial environment that is not possible.

The construction of different types of structures ↑

Do hardwood forest ↑

This is the simplest design, which can be done by hand in just a day. In order to get a durable and reliable structure just follow these instructions:

1. Take a Board with a length of six meters, put her to the wall.
2. In parallel, put the second Board.
3. Staple them together with spars. In the same way make a second support.
4. Lay the flooring.
5. To provide enhanced rigidity to take the Board-braces. A stop use the land.
6. Grow level by level until, until you reach the sufficient height.

As you can see, to make a wooden scaffolding with his hands is not so very difficult, but there are many nuances that need fate. Otherwise, the design may not stand for several days.

It’s important to make spans for optimal design sizes. The Canon is considered to be the distance of two meters between the risers. If necessary it can be increased to two and a half. The width of the decking is exactly a meter.

One important caveat in the construction of scaffolding is what fasteners to use. Usually only two options: nails and screws. It is recognized that both have its advantages and disadvantages.

Take, for example, screws. At first glance is the ideal fasteners to make the scaffolding with their hands. But not so simple. Their main disadvantage is the excessive fragility.

Also screws, which you can use to make the scaffolding with his hands is quite susceptible to shock loads. They just fly off the hat. Naturally, this can lead to complete structural failure.

Therefore, the best option to make the scaffolding with their hands will be the nails. And it is best to use a 120-millimeter products. For better fixation of their ends bent.

The main reason for the fragility of the screws is that they are made of tempered metal. Therefore, under heavy loads they often break down. It is quite another thing nails. They are based on the soft metal. He can bend, but not break. That is why if you want to do the scaffolding with their hands, it is best to use them.

Unfortunately, despite its undeniable merits, the nails are not perfect. The main disadvantage of these fasteners is to analyze the design carefully will not work. Gonna have to break that. Naturally, the second time the product to use will not work.

The poet experienced builders to all those who decided to make the scaffolding with their hands recommend the basic option to bond with self-tapping screws, and the final fix nails.

Make a forest of metal with his own hands ^ a

First you need to give one important clarification. In this embodiment, the basic construction is made of metal and laminated wood. This is the optimum combination to achieve high performance.

As the metal for the frame, you can use aluminum. It has a low weight, so no problems with the installation should not occur. However, it is not capable of withstanding very large loads and should be considered. It is best that each flight had the following parameters:

• width — 100 cm;
• height — 150 cm;
• length from 165 to 200 cm.

This is the Canon, which would allow for the construction of hand-made need stability.

When creating constructions of metal you need to be prepared, since here particular importance is the quality of the materials you will need:

• square profile,
• pipe for spacers,
• profile for connecting panels,
• boards for flooring,
• ladder,
• connecting elements.

Of course, that some materials be restricted will fail to create the intended project with your own hands you will also need a number of tools, including:

• handsaw for metal,
• drill,
• Bulgarian,
• welding machine.

With this Toolkit you can build a metal accessory with your own hands.

The construction of the scaffolding with their hands begins with the compaction of the earth, where there will be a product. This will ensure improved reliability of the whole structure. Moreover, it will not hurt to do the drainage.

Where shall stand the support you need with your hands to encase the Board. This will provide greater stability. In this case, none of the precaution will not be excessive, as the slightest looseness can cause a scaffolding collapse, and there’s nothing you can do.

To make the scaffolding of stainless steel with their hands, follow this algorithm:

1. Cut the pipe. For diagonal braces — 200 cm, while for horizontal — 96.
2. The ending of the horizontal pipes need to flatten. It is necessary for the connection profile.
   
3. Your hands tie the upright. To do this, use sections of profile.
4. Connect the horizontal portions ties.
5. Drill the holes for the bolts on the struts and the struts.
6. Set the levels and staple items.
7. When connecting the sections, use the adapter.
8. Put the joists.

To protect the scaffolding from corrosion, it is necessary to make a protective coating. Enough fluid and anticorrosive special paint.

To make the scaffolding of their hands. The complexity of the design depends on the material you select, for example, plastic structures can be done only in conditions of industrial production. The simplest option is the construction of wood.

• Drilling rig for water with their hands
• Shelves for books with their hands
• Goats for sawing wood with their hands
