Double or Mason's Scaffolding

This category of scaffolding is stronger than the single scaffolding and it is used in the construction of stone work. In stone masonry, it is extremely difficult to give holes in the wall to support putlogs. Within that case, more strong scaffolding is used consisting of two rows of scaffolding. Every row therefore, forms a separate vertical framework. The first row is placed at 20 to 30 cm away from the wall, while another framework is placed at 1 m distance from the first one. Putlogs are then supported on both the frames. Rakers and cross-braces are given to make the scaffolding stronger and stable. Like scaffolding is also known as independent scaffolding.
