The working platform is where people stand, so the board choice is a safety decision as much as a cost one.
Timber boards
Timber is light and cheap, but it warps, splits, absorbs water and is combustible. Individual boards vary in strength and degrade with weather.
Galvanized steel planks
Steel planks are non-combustible, consistent in strength, resist rot and weather, and last many years. Galvanizing protects against rust outdoors.
Choosing
- Fire risk or long service: steel plank
- Lightweight, short-term, low budget: timber
- Hooked steel planks lock to the frame for safety
We supply galvanized steel planks with anti-slip surfaces and end hooks. Ask for sizes and load ratings.
