Scaffold towers are for sale in both steel and aluminium and are essential for painting, re-pointing and maintenance work both inside and outside the house. Your Long Established Supplier The Top Tower Classic 6.3m is just one of a set of scaffold towers with a range of base sizes and heights. The first step of your customisation process is to decide what size base and height you need. The Classic 6.3m maximum platform height is 4.3m and the reach is 6.3m. The base size of the model we review here is 1.21m by 80cm. The range of base sizes available also includes 1.21m x 1.21m, 1.21m x 1.82m and 1.82m x 80cm. Whatever size you choose, the manufacturer recommends that the scaffold tower be tied to a building for stability and safety.

A scaffold tower (also called an access tower) enables someone to work at height more safely than when using a ladder. Scaffold towers can be used inside buildings for a variety of tasks such as painting a ceiling, plastering, accessing a hard to reach area or working at height with heavy or awkward items. Outside tasks where a scaffold tower might be useful include roofing, external painting, rendering, working on gutters, repairing windows plus many more DIY tasks. One other downside may be that it only has one height (3m), but this works out well if you don’t do any really high-up DIY projects. Finally, as we talk about in our Buyer’s Guide, be aware of what the heights actually mean. The maximum platform height is 3m and the tower is 4m tall. The 5m refers to the reach if a 2m tall person is working on the tower. Always read the details from the manufacturer.For your safety - Tower is climbed internally through a trap door which is then lowered and becomes part of the platform

Scaffold towers however, offer the opportunity to have lots of tools to hand at once, which can be difficult when on a ladder, and also allow multiple people to easily work together in safety. Adjustable legs can also provide stability when the ground is uneven and a ladder would be unsafe. In this Buyer’s Guide, we cover the essential features to look for in a DIY scaffold tower so that the one you buy serves your purpose. Height The manufacturer has ISO2001 accreditation so its products meet strict engineering quality standards. For all us sane folk, that probably doesn’t sound like the safest way to get things done, and so we usually call some scaffolders around and get the pros to do it, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Except for the expense that is.

With a 7m reach – that’s the height that a 2m person can reach up to standing on the platform at its highest point – this scaffold tower gives you the ability to clean out the eaves of your two-storey house or to repaint all of the vaulted cathedral ceilings in your lounge. You can set up your tower with the two included platforms at the different heights (in 30cm increments) needed to clean out the sloping eaves or to paint different heights of the ceiling. You climb the frame on the inside and go up through a trapdoor in the non-slip platforms. Many people often assume that scaffold towers are only for outdoor use, and mainly for tradespeople who carry out a lot of construction work, but this is not the case. DIY scaffold towers from BPS are extremely versatile for both indoor and outdoor tasks. For example, with our Home Master DIY scaffold tower, you can use it partly erect - which would suit indoor DIY like decorating rooms or ceilings - or you can fully erect it for outdoor use, such as painting your house and gardening. Platforms can be wood or metal. If the wood seems a bit flimsy or doesn’t have an anti-slip covering, consider a different make of scaffold tower or make adjustments to the provided platform. If you get a bit queasy at heights, consider a tower with a base and platform wider than 0.5m so you’ll have a more solid-seeming place to stand.
