However, most people will use scaffolding too rarely to make it worth buying. Scaffolding provides a safer and easier solution to many jobs that require working at heights. Scaffolding is more secure than the average ladder, when correctly constructed, and enables greater flexibility in the scope of works that can be carried out. It will also provide a secure platform for a variety of tools and materials, enabling a more effective working environment.
