The cost for me was just under 4,000 SEK, and I will use many of the studs for other projects after I am done painting the facade.
I had to make a little special solution over the basement stairs with a pair of legs standing on the longitudinal 95x145 studs. I did this so that the pair of legs wouldn't be in the way in front of the basement door.
Fun that more people are building scaffolding "old school"
I also made my own for window replacement and painting the facade. A craftsman who was passing by for something else stopped and commented, "it's been a while since I've seen a wooden scaffold."
For my part, the cost was low since I used old floor beams we had previously ripped out, and the platform is the old pine floor along with some leftover decking boards. The only new things required were some screws and a few 45x95 studs. Additionally, I will be using both the studs and floor beams in upcoming projects.
I tried to attach a picture without success... will try again later.
Fun to see I'm considering doing the same when I need to reclad the house!
Nice not to have to stress because of a rented scaffold that's just costing money!
Thought the same myself! Stressing over the rental cost for scaffolding seems really dumb for a self-build.
I was thinking of using the scaffolding described in the book "Husets ABC" (Per Hemgren & Henrik Wannfors, ICA bokförlag). By the way, a really good book for home improvers
When we replaced the roof, I bought a HAKI scaffolding that was almost new with new planks. I used it for 3 months and then sold it for the same price it cost me.

Those planks you will walk on will probably need to be reinforced. It will likely be very shaky to walk on otherwise.
I also first thought of using 22x95 for rails, but 45x45 was two kronor cheaper per meter I will in fact need both types for the other projects.
Yes, you're probably right. But it's actually good that someone in literature thinks a wooden scaffold is OK, so not everyone has to rent aluminum scaffolding and be unnecessarily ruined.
I also reacted to "ställningsplank 25x2000". It feels too weak with 25mm planks at a 2m span.
Looking at professionals, they usually have 45mm "planks" to walk on, unless they're ready-made boards.
I'm wondering if it could be a typo and should be 45 * 200? I think it looks thicker than 25 mm, even though I realize it's not to scale. The span is probably 3 to 4 meters, so 25 mm feels too weak to me.
You're probably right. The thickness corresponds more with 45x200. But that's likely something that becomes apparent rather quickly during construction.
Fun thread! I, too, have built a wooden stand this year and am super satisfied. I'll try to get some pictures. I suspect I've over-engineered mine a bit, but "better safe than sorry."
I will also build a wooden scaffold in the fall. I've been collecting timber for a couple of years so it will be free. I'm just tired of moving the pile of boards since I'm short on space.
For walkboards, professionals use some kind of classified timber, often unplaned, just sawn.
I have a couple of those lying around that I saved when I was going to wallpaper the stairs.
