What’s the difference between timber scaffolding and steel scaffolding?

Timber scaffolding is a traditional system still used in some parts of the world, but in the UK, steel scaffolding is the industry standard. It offers more strength, durability, and is better suited for residential project scaffolding. At Square Scaffolding we use steel scaffolding.

The main types of scaffolding for houses are:
