I need to clean and repaint the back wall of the house.
The wall is about 4 metres high and 2 metres off the ground. It's 6 metres
wide. http://i43.tinypic.com/29c1fmr.jpg

Below the wall is clear plastic roofing that cannot be walked on or
ladders rested on. I need to put some scaffolding up somehow. Preferably
using whatever equipment I have lying around!

What's the green corrugated roofing either side made of?

Would it and the central "bar" over the transparant roof support 2-3
scaffold planks on blocks on spreader sheets of ply?

I'm thinking if you could span the platic with 2-3 planks bolted togther and
tied to the house so they cannot slide backwards, you may have a base for a
ladder.

What sort of span are we talking about? I cannot tell from the photo, but I
suspect the planks would need to be stiffened too.
