Anyone have a photo example of a wooden scaffolding that can be relatively easily nailed together for painting work?
I have a relatively low house where I can manage with two sawhorses on the long sides. But at the gables, I need to get a few meters up in the air while the terrain is sloping and uneven. To the ridge, it's maybe 5-6 meters...
Grateful for tips on dimensions and possible spans.

I can of course not take any responsibility as my model is definitely not type-approved or tested with anything other than my own head, but I built with 45X95 and 45X70 in the cross braces. About 2.50 meters high with a 1X2 meter platform at the top. Sturdy enough to place a secured step ladder at the top.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a good picture of it, but it's visible to the far left in this picture

I can really recommend building yourself. It doesn't require rent and is cheap to purchase. It's faster to assemble than you think, and it becomes super stable if you attach it with iron towards the house. I built with 45x95 studs that I joined with carriage bolts. If you want a different height when you move, or if a staircase is in the way, you just drill new holes. Crosspieces can be made from scrap wood of various types, which you attach with nails or screws.

Hello!!!, you can at least drive in a screw, right? Every spring I seal cracks in the facade boards with latex, as well as around window trims that have cracked a bit due to heat/cold movements. That's also a good time to seal any nail or screw holes.

This is what a "knekt" looks like, I believe. I used such ones myself in the 80s when I replaced a large gable window.
Very simple construction.
Make two, or three depending on how long a distance you want the scaffold to cover, lean them against the wall, put planks on and climb up. They should not be fixed to the wall since they need to be able to slide down for maximum stability. The more load, the better it holds. Unless you forget the counterhold in the ground that is!
Test to find the optimal angle against the ground for the supports!
Good luck!
U.P.A.!!
