Frame or Fabricated
Framed or FabricatedFabricated frame scaffolds are the most common type of scaffold because they are versatile, economical, and easy to use.

Note: Except where indicated, the same basic scaffold requirements that appear in this module also apply to manually propelled, pump jack, ladder jack, tube and coupler, and pole scaffolds, as well as the specialty scaffolds described in Supported Scaffolds.
