Guardian Fall Protection Steel Side Wall Carpenters (Staging) Bracket #2300

Good braces to use for light work. Used them to stage a platform for some window installes on the side of a barn I was building. I ran out of pumpjacks and this was a cheap alternative. Half decent price as well. Had them shipped right to the customers house and used them the next working day. Not meant for tons of weight though. Don't over load with shingles.

Awesome, a must have for steep pitch roof. Easy to install but watch the YouTube video to do it correctly with bracing on interior. Roofed my remote cabin in Alaska in 3 days with these bad boys!!

Pretty amazing,little bit of time consuming to set up but well worth it. Would have been nice to be able to secure a wooden plank to it with a clamp or screw

These are a great addition for renovating a 90 year old repossession! I was concerned about the quality because the price was so low. Didn't need to!

When it comes to easy to assemble scaffolding, there's not that much out there. I've got some really stout commercial grade scaffolding, but it practically takes two people to set up. By contrast, these little gems are very easy to secure to a wall. I had to search out instructions on YouTube, but essentially you want to put a 5/8 inch diameter hole two inches from the stud. I put a 2 x 4 across two studs, on both the inside and outside, and then a smaller piece of three-quarter at the bottom, again spanning at least two studs. For some reason, you need to have that extra 2x4 on the outside or the angle is wrong to the building.As opposed to buying the guardrail, I just put a small lag bolt into a vertical 2x4, and then attached another horizontal piece as a guardrail. The vertical 2 x 4 also adds one extra degree of support. If you're under 6 feet off the ground you don't even need them.Unfortunately, the only place you can really use these is in new construction, but they are really quick to set up. Once you prepare a couple of two by fours, you don't have to do it again. All you really need to do is drill one hole in the wall at the height you want, and screw the thing together. Maybe 5 min.. I can think of no other scaffolding system that is anywhere near as fast. It's very easy to come back with little can of spray foam when the project is done and fill in the hole.For the price, I think they represent a good value, but again are limited to new construction.

They worked perfect, I had to go on line to get a a installation diagram.

I am old enough to have owned a set of staging brackets made in the fifties that were my fathers. They hung off of 3 16d spikes driven into the studs through a keyhole slot. You simply drove the spike home when finished. These units use a hole drilled through the sheeting and I also use a temporary 2x4 piece on the inside of the wall with the same hole and screwed in place. The tightening screw has a hook on the end and can be adjusted for varying thickness of walls. My old set used a swiveling bracket nailed at an angle to provide sideways stability. Because these can be tightened to the wall via the clamp, that isn't really necessary. Downside for me is I am building a shed and using T-1-11 siding so I will have a hole to patch on my outside wall. Not a biggie. but a disappointment I can live with. Overall, these are well made and I am 325 lbs and they feel sturdy to me and I can appreciate that. They fold nicely for compact storage.
