Here is a wide shot of the scaffolding. For the uprights, I used a channel bracket from a company called Super-Strut. This channel is usually used in factories to bolt steam pipes to the wall. It is unbelievably strong. It has holes pre drilled in it every 2 inches to make it adjustable to any height needed. The cross members on the outside I used electrical conduit fashioned just like factory made scaffolding.

The only part I had to make was the cross section. I made them 30 inches wide on the inside with 10 inch high verticle tubes. I then drilled four holes in each end to prepare for any bolting need. I use these "H" beams for two purposes. The first is to hold the scaffolding boards at the desired level. The second reason is to join the ends of two pieces of Super-Strut.

This shot shows the view from on the first level. The Super-Stut by its design clamps onto pipes with a small bracket. This makes attaching hand rails and safety bars a breeze.

On the bottom of the walking planks I decided at the last minute to create a method of holding them down. I created a plate that would bolt the two board ends to the center "H" beem. This proved very stable.
