What Is Independent Scaffolding?
Independent scaffolding — sometimes called a double scaffold — is a self-supporting structure built parallel to a building façade.
Unlike traditional “putlog” scaffolds that rely on the building for support, independent systems stand freely using two rows of vertical standards, ensuring superior stability and adaptability for a wide range of construction and maintenance tasks.
TG4’s independent scaffolds are commonly used for:
- Bricklaying and masonry work
- Rendering, plastering, and painting
- Cladding and façade installation
- Roofline repairs and maintenance
- New build construction and extensions
- Window replacement and structural repairs
