My extension walls are getting higher, which I guess is a good thing :-) So ... whats the best place to get scaffold boards ? Used is fine. Unless hiring the boards is cheaper. Simon.

They are approx. £1 per foot new. Would you really risk a 2nd hand board when you are carrying 20kg of cement 20 feet up? Alan.

Found this, I'm sure there are others, but it gives a good idea of sizes/prices.

I bought them from a timber merchant when I wanted some. I needed them cut to length to fit in my car, and they refused, claiming it's illegal to cut scaffold planks shorter. I did eventually convince them, but they sawed off the ends with the metal straps and the BS number, so no one could claim they were scaffold planks any more. (I wanted them to straddle the top of my stairwell, so I could stand on them to plaster and paint the wall.)

You should have duct-taped them together, strapped one end of the bundle to one of those granny shopping carts, and towed them home behind the car ;)

They are pretty cheap to hire, but hire shops also sell them - either new or when the start to look a bit manky.

You don't need them.
Get some or all of your roof or ceiling timbers and use those like all good builders do!
