When being used as part of a scaffolding system, the complete scaffold must still be correctly designed, erected, inspected and maintained in accordance with applicable safety requirements.
Boards should always be checked before use, and damaged or unsuitable boards should not be incorporated into a working scaffold.
The boards are manufactured from PEFC-certified timber.
PEFC certification supports responsibly managed forests and traceable timber supply chains.
This makes the boards a practical choice for customers seeking responsibly sourced construction timber.

Correct storage and allowing the timber to acclimatise before use can help minimise movement.
Scaffold boards are commonly repurposed for garden and landscaping projects.
However, unless specifically stated as treated, the boards should not automatically be considered pressure-treated exterior timber.
