Hi guys.
Do any of you have any special tips regarding Scaffolding?
They can be anything from certain ways to base a job out or how to carry things, like different sized boards and stuff. - Literally anything you wanna share, please do so.
Ill start off.
I do a thing i call a: 'Swap Puncheon'.
Its basically a nice and easy way for someone to put a puncheon on a beam, on their own and without any help. (Great if your working 2 handed and your sitting on the beams, without anyone being close to help you put a puncheon on.)
What i do is...
How about you guys?
Got any handy tips?
Anything you wish to share with your fellow Scaffolders?

What i do is...
- I get my mate to chuck me a double, whilst on the beam and then get him to measure up 18-20 inches or so from the bottom of the puncheon and put the 'check fitting' straight on the tube.
- Whilst they are doing this, i put my double on the TOP staunchen of the beam.
- I then get my mate to pass me the puncheon and slide it into the top staunchen's double, sliding down until the 'check fitting' sits nicely in the double.
- I then do up my top double and take the 'check fitting' off, and place it on the bottom staunchen.
- Then voilà - The puncheon has been safety added to the beam, with next to no effort on your part AND your mate hasn't had to struggle to jump out on the beam with you and hold the tube, whilst you do it up.
- (Works great if your punching up with 21fts/16fts, as you can do it really easy.)
