Birdcage Scaffolding
Safe Working Areas
A Birdcage Scaffold is an arrangement of standards at
regular intervals in both the ledger and transom direc-
tion. These standards are laced together using ledgers
to suit the required bay sizes. Birdcage towers are pre-
dominately decked out on the top lift only and in some
instances the perimeter bays are decked out.
There are two ways to deck birdcage scaffolding to pro-
vide safe areas of work:
▪ Fully decked bays: This method assumes that the full
lift of the birdcage will be completely decked out pro-
viding an internal safe working area. Only the perim-
eter of the birdcage will require suitable guardrails to
provide safe working zones.
▪ Partially Decked bays: This method assumes that
suitable areas will be decked with guardrails to pro-
vide erectors safe zones.
