    Hi GUys

    Going renting one of these with a standing height of 20 feet to do some painting. I have to assemble myself - is it easy and straightforward ?

    Should it not be assembled and certified by a registered scaffolder?

    i did it myself last summer, it was handy...i got it for clearing gutters cleaning windows etc....

    i was wary of not doing a safe job so just lobbed on extra support beams...it held about 35 - 40 stone in weight between two blokes and tools and equipement, you will need another set of hands to help put it together though
