remember it may pay to spend a bit.

What sort of things do you need to look out for when buying a scaffold?


If you've ever had to put one up, you'll know to buy aluminium, not steel.

Not my experience, my steel one is fine to put up. OK, if I was
assembling and disassembling it daily it would become hard work but
that really isn't normally the case for DIY use. Mine can be moved
once assembled so I can go along a wall for example without taking it
down and putting it up again.

Given that steel appears to be a *lot* cheaper than aluminium in my
case it's a choice of a steel tower or no tower at all.
