Protect Scaffolding From The Elements

Protecting your scaffolding equipment is important whether it used for personal or work purposes. The main reason to protect it is to prevent rust of the screws and poles and rot of the planks.

Sealer

For basic protection, apply an all-weather sealant to the poles and plank. This will help to guard from rust and rot.

Basic Protection

If nothing else, protect your scaffolding by using a tarp to cover it when not in use. This will work only if you have a smaller unit, and may will not protect from liability and safety issues.

Garage

If your equipment will fit inside of a garage, close it in to protect it from the elements. This will usually work the equipment you have for personal use. For more commercial-type equipment, this may not be practical.

Workshop

Most worksites have a workshop available to house equipment. This would be the ideal place to store and protect your scaffolding unit. Keep your scaffolding parts security by locking them up when not in use.
