Everything is a question of budget
Finally, nothing more than numbers to convince you to rent a scaffolding from a specialized company.
Let's start from a concrete case: let's imagine that the surface of the facades of your house is around 200 m². Roughly speaking, to carry out painting work, a company will offer you a quote whose amount will range between 6,000 and 9,000 euros. A substantial budget, which you can reduce by carrying out the work yourself and, therefore, by renting the most suitable equipment for your needs: so you can royally get by with a bill of 4,000 euros, while having the satisfaction of having given, with your own hands, a new luster to your home. Beautiful savings in perspective!
Safe use
You are decided? Once the equipment installed at your place, it's your turn to play! Your rental company will have indicated this, and probably repeated: it is essential to observe certain safety instructions to avoid a fall. So, the first thing you do not have to do is work at height when the weather conditions are not good: if it rains or the wind blows, postpone your work.
To limit the risk of accidents, it is advisable to respect the weight of load, which will have been informed by the rental company to which you will have turned. In order to be comfortable once you are in action, also think about not overloading your work surface, so that you can move as easily as possible.
Side shoes, be sure to wear a model whose soles are non-slippery. And, of course, wearing a helmet and a safety harness is strongly recommended, especially if you are at a high altitude.
Several providers, one scaffolding
In another case, you have entrusted all your work to three different trades (for example, one for the roof, one for the facades, and one for the insulation). Problem: in turn, everyone comes at the right time with his own scaffolding. Result of the races, you are condemned to pay three times the installation and the presence of this identical material.
Once again, to avoid unnecessary extra costs and keep your budget down, let the service providers know that you have a scaffolding, which you will have rented beforehand. Do the math, it's all good for you!
