Talk:Scaffolding

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 article covers materials, basic structures and standards. Scaffold is just the 'bare bones', scaffolding is the process. The first paragraph is scaffold the rest is scaffolding.212

The lead picture is great BUT I can't actually see the scaffolding unless the picture in much, much bigger. The fancy way to deal with this would be an little inset that shows a small portion of the picture, magnified many times. Any photoshop skills out there? ike9898 14:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.104.230 (talk) 20:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   I don't think that the latter is really considered scaffolding
