Instructions
A Simple Scaffold
1
Measure the distance from the bottom of the stairs to the step you'll be placing the catwalk or plank. Add about two feet to the length so you can butt it up against the rise of the step and extend between 6 inches and a foot beyond the ladder.
2
Open a step ladder at the base of the steps.
3
Slide the board through the middle of the ladder to rest on a step and rung of the ladder and rest the other end on the step. Make certain that it is level.
A Scaffold Made from an Articulating Ladder and a Step Ladder
4
Open a step ladder at the top of the stairs. In this example we will use a 6-foot ladder.
5
Set a 12foot articulating ladder at the base of the steps by putting the base feet on the main floor and adjusting the ladder so that a shorter end rests several steps up. An articulating ladder is one that bends and folds in several directions.
