    Hi folks,
    Is there an easy way to estimate the amount of scaffolding that I'll need for my build or is there a standard amount of each piece that you allow for per linear meter or 8 foot lengths?
    Including the house and garage, the scaffolding will need to go around 120m for 2 stories.
    I'd just like to have an idea before I start looking.
    Thanks.

    list
    156 kv9 (9ft uprights)
    52 kv6 (6ft uprights)
    300 kl8 (8ft ledgers)
    140 kt4 (4ft transoms)
    260 kp8 (8 ft planks)
    10 kp4 (4ft planks)
    30 kd12 (12 ft braces)
    100 kbh (base jacks and packing pieces)
    50 1bb (one board brackets)
    2 ladder transoms
    1 7m ladder
    50 double couplers
    20 swivel couplers
    10 16ft tubes for raking
    10 5ft tubes.

    This is for 120m long x 5m high
    note: 6ft standards are for inside leg 2nd level.
    seems a very big house to me. 120mtrs long? That means 12x 8ft bays on 4 sides?

    Good luck with it anyway.
    Barry;)

    Thanks Barry,
    The house isn't as big as it sounds, just has a lot of external wall, but at 3000sqft its still pretty big. I've attached a pdf which should make a bit more sense.
    That list is great, many thanks.
