Talk:Scaffolding: Difference between revisions

Why is this page titled scaffolding rather than scaffold? I would think the former is merely a derived form of the latter, so the latter would be the natural title of the article. 131.183.73.124 21:10 Mar 5, 2003 (UTC)

The lead picture is great BUT I can't actually see the scaffolding unless the picture in much, much bigger.

Besides metal and wood, materials like bamboo (in Hong Kong and China)are used in scaffolding.

There are two types of scaffolding. Suspended and supported. Supported scaffolds are built and designed above their supporting structure (think pipe frame scaffold). Suspended scaffolds are built and designed below their supporting structure (think window washing scaffold).
