Single Scaffolding (Bricklayer's Scaffolding)

This is most generally used in the construction of brickwork. In these categories of scaffolding, most of the members except platforms are commonly made of bamboos and poles. It consists of a one framework of standards, , putlogs and ledgers etc., constructed parallel to the wall at a distance of about 1.20 meters. The standards are placed at 2 to 2.5 m interval. Ledgers connect the standards, and are given at a vertical interval of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Putlogs are placed with one end on the ledgers and other end in the hole left in the wall, at an interval of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Guards, boarding and other members are placed as display in Figure 18.

As the work proceeds, the platform is raised to higher levels through extending the standards through adding extra pieces, if essential. The scaffolding will be erased after the pointing or plastering and whitewashing work is over. After erasing the putlogs, the holes must be filled solid immediately. Such scaffolding is generally used for bricklaying, and is also known as putlog scaffolding.
