Abstract
Scaffolding module comprising one or more substantially planar frames (3, 15) to receive building materials: each frame (3, 15) is supported in use in a substantially horizontal position by four substantially parallel support members (2) and each frame (3, 15) and the support members (2) are pivotable relative to each other. Hence, the module (1) can be folded between a reduced volume storage configuration in which each frame (3, 15) lies alongside the support members (2) and an operational configuration in which each frame (3, 15) extends substantially perpendicularly to the support members (2). A method of erecting scaffolding using the described modules is also disclosed.
