I saw that picture on a different clip that showed a lot of the stupid things that people have done. Kind of like a "5 gallon" step ladder!

Best looking scaffolding wheel brakes I've seen. No worry about them unlocking. B) :laugh: :laugh: B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

No need to worry about that setup, CM. Those are ice cream parlor chairs. They're built to handle lardasses. (Usually eating the special with names like hog's trough.)

Oh! I get it! Like a "Hog's trough" Just jerking your chain Twil. Yes, that is what I was talking about. It is about 10 times stronger in that configuration.

Old School Said: A hogs trough? What the heck is that?

Here it used as an in attic bracing compenent. Used when there a few options. The name is prolly local

It would be a 2x6 or 2x8 laying flat cross the joists. Then a 2x4 or 2x6 laying alongside it but on edge would be nailed into it. From there some vertical rafter supports are put in it and nailed thru the smaller board standing on edge

Like a Hog's Trough OS?

I didn't catch that the first time I looked. Actually, the 2 x 6's will work because they are supporting it right adjacent to the frame. There is no leverage against them at that point, and 99% of the weight is being born directly on the frame. Perhaps a 2 x 4 on edge, nailed to the 2 x 6 to wedge it into the opening so it couldn't move would have been a better option. It is not going to fall down like that!

I woud not trust the 2x6's laying flat. Really......I'd hire it out :)

Doubled up 2"x10" on edge through scaffold to act as as "header" and use doubled 2"x6" across to wall. Use balance of 2"x10" spaced for deck and cover with plywood.

OK, how would you guys have scaffolded that area if you were working on it?
