Anyone bought scaffolding?

[Snailman]

Jula has one, has anyone tested it?

Are there others who sell, for a reasonable price?

I expect to be at it for a loooong time... so renting is probably not an option.

I was interested in one at the beginning of the summer but Jula didn't have one set up for a demo (you want to touch and feel a bit to see that it's not flimsy), and there was only one in Umeå that they might be able to send down to Stockholm. So I ended up with a zipUp instead, and I'm incredibly satisfied with it even though it was a bit more expensive (30'), but on the other hand, we're in the middle of a pretty extensive renovation, so we'll use it for a long time.

If I later (unexpectedly) want to sell it, the resale value is pretty good too.

Why not build one out of wood then? Unless you plan to move it around a lot. I've painted the whole house myself with a homemade scaffold made out of 45x95 studs, battens for cross-bracing and railings, and some sturdy planks to stand on. I was surprised myself at how stable it became.

The material cost about a thousand kronor and the timber can be reused for something else when you're done.

Bought a Haki scaffold on blocket for 20'. I have about 100 sqm or something. Best thing I've bought. I think it's really easy to assemble. Sure, the planks weigh a bit, but on the other hand, it's incredibly stable and it's so nice to be able to have the saw etc. up on the scaffold and not have to climb up and down to cut boards etc. Plus, the resale value of these kinds of products is unbeatable.

Bought a Haki scaffolding on Blocket for 20'. I have about 100 square meters or something. Best thing I've bought. I find it really convenient to assemble. Sure, the decking is a bit heavy but on the other hand, it's extremely stable and it's so nice to be able to have the saw etc. up on the scaffolding and avoid climbing up and down to cut boards etc.
Also, the resale value is unbeatable for products like these.

I also have an old Haki - it covers 12-15m of facade with this on the house. Incredibly useful for facade and roof work. If you are two people, assembly/disassembly is very easy. Definitely recommend buying, but it does cost a pretty penny for sure.

Okay, I probably need one with internal wheels to nail the ceiling and such, for the current house I painted with the help of a ladder, and then I painted two layers each time. I was thinking of building with lösvirke, but I might need some help with the truss installation and to raise the gables, not sure if it's possible with just a ladder so it might have to be a rolling scaffold and a self-built one from planks...

I bought the same model at Bauhaus this summer. It works excellently if you support it with 2 supports at 795 kr each. Easy to move and stable.

I have a similar one from k-rauta and just the first part of barely two meters. I use it to work up in the cathedral ceiling. Works great and is easy to move. Also works super in stairs.

One tip is to compare different variants. The one I looked at at bauhaus was about 20 cm narrower than the one at k-rauta and cost about the same money.
