When engaging in a refurbishment, renovation, or maintenance project, the flattened or blade end of a putlog can be inserted in a raked out joint in the wall.

For new projects that begin from scratch, the putlog is positioned on a wall at the required height, and the remaining wall is built around this point.

It is imperative that the scaffold lift progresses or is raised in accordance with masonry work. Needless to say, work is not possible if the wall keeps progressing while the scaffold remains in its initial position.

Moreover, this scaffold only allows work on the exterior of the building as it gathers support from the external wall.

Putlog scaffolding is not as popular as it used to be. The reason for this is the modern procedures and scaffolds that have revolutionized the construction industry as well as other industries that employ scaffolds.

Do you know the installation procedure of the putlog scaffolding system? Below we will show you the answer.

#1 Leave a spot/space in the brickwork at required distances for the flattened end of the transom;

#2 Insert a putlog into each space;

#3 Connect standards and ledgers using double couplers;

#4 Place the putlogs on the ledgers and fix in place using single couplers;

#5 Place boards across the putlogs to create a working platform;

#6 Insert two rows of horizontal tubes to serve as a guardrail.
