Scaffolding - penny for your thoughts

[havabeer69]

its all fun and games till you fall off the thing and suddenly its "geez I wish I spent $500 more and did it properly now that i'm laying in hospital for weeks with a broken pelvis"

Anything involving height needs to be done carefully.

In fact, when I saw this, I thought you have to be kidding.

Those props would have to be well anchored and solid enough to take the weight. That arrangement seems so vulnerable. Then I realised it's not so different from a ladder and platform. Maybe it's not such a silly idea.

I agree. their angle looks suss to me.
would prefer them to be more vertical.
hope they are not too flexible.

Have to laugh. But you're still around. So, presumably, it worked. If it didn't work, you might have had a song/poem or two written about your experience. There's one about a bucket of bricks being pulled to the top of a building with a pulley arrangement that goes wrong.

Here's another couple that made me laugh. A mobile scaffold to die for.
