Wooden scaffolding - adjustable legs?

[Robert_G]

I have a few small projects and some scrap wood. Therefore, I plan to build a scaffolding in wood, with 2x4-inch studs as legs.

The problem is that my yard is uneven, and I want to be able to adjust the height of the legs individually, preferably without unscrewing them.

For "regular" metal scaffolds, there are threaded base screws to easily adjust height in uneven ground conditions. I would rather do that than stacking a bunch of blocks under the legs.

QUESTION: Do you know any convenient way to use such base screws with a wooden scaffold? For example, if there are suitable metal tubes with screw holes that can be bolted to the wooden legs, in which base screws can be fitted?

Maybe like this? Adjustable stolpsko.

Something like this maybe? Adjustable column shoe.

Thanks for the answer. Something like that sounds reasonable, but the column shoes I find can only be adjusted a few cm in height. The best would be if I could adjust the height at least about 25-30 cm up and down due to the site's large slope. Is there anything similar but that can be adjusted a lot more?

30 cm seems quite a lot, maybe it will be difficult without, then you'll probably have to use some kind of jack or similar...

The scaffolding foot you posted a picture of doesn't need a threaded pipe; it's the "nut" that the scaffolding stands on. So you can use a regular pipe with the appropriate dimension.

So a regular pipe with suitable dimensions can you go with

Buy burton pipes, cheap, easily accessible, and the right dimension. Then the question is how to integrate them into the wooden construction in a sensible way. You easily end up thinking maybe you should build a burton stand instead and build the scaffolding deck from scrap wood.
