Hi all,

I wandered past this today:

(Forgive the quality, it was a quick walk-by capture with my phone as
I didn't want to arouse suspicion by taking pictures of somebody's
house!)

Are these commonplace? I thought it seemed like a quick alternative to
scaffolding towers. That said, it didn't look like the sturdiest of
things and indeed I was expecting to find something substantial at the
bottom but it was just similar to the top but without the platform!

It wasn't all that clear how it was erected, I am assuming you peg up
the platform at ground level and then slide the whole lot up? What
with though?

That is just a modern day version of "ladder brackets"

the people that used them with just a scaffold*board and two ordinary ladders
i.e me.
called them suicide brackets.
