Abstract

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