I'd like references to useful designs for scaffolding that can be built from treated lumber and left outdoors. Also if there is commercial scaffolding that can be left outside all year, I'd like to know about such products.
In my perpetual home repairs, I've using scaffolding that was supposed to be temporary for many years. It consists of two sizes of frames build out of untreated, but painted 2x4's. The smaller is 2x3x6 ft. The larger is 4'-8" x 3 x 6 ft. The tallest configuration that I use one small frame on top of one big frame to make 6'-8" tall with 2"x6" planks on top to stand upon.
These frames are approaching the largest sizes that I want to move and stack up by myself. The 2"x6" planks tend to warp.
