Reclaimed Scaffold Board Rustic Simple Wood Bench with Steel Box Section Legs

Product Information

All of the wooden elements across our Tube Clamp products are responsibly sourced and FSC approved whiteboard timber, compliant to BS2482. Scaffolding board furniture is a cheap and affordable way to build strong sturdy furniture for the home or even the garden. In fact, scaffold boards are great for DIY garden furniture as they are well designed to be used outside.

Many of our pieces are a combination of different materials from scaffolding constructions, as well as different solid woods that create unique, practical and fashionable pieces. For example, re-purposing the metal scaffolding pipes makes for excellent table and chair legs, book shelf structures, pretty much anything! I’ve recently collected some Iroko wood from Wood Shop Direct for my next project. Using this company has helped me simplify the build massively as they cut everything to size. This takes away a lot of time and effort from me so I can stay focused on the build and overall design.

So that’s pretty much it. You can see how easy it is to make a beautiful functioning table thats eco friendly and long lasting.

Making furniture from any kind of reclaimed material is always a risky business. When it comes to scaffold boards you really need to select decent boards for your projects. Some reclaimed scaffold boards are too far gone to be able to use in your furniture projects. In an ideal situation, you will select boards that have been stored in a dry location and don’t have any bends or twists in them. You can simply look down the length of a board to see how straight it is. We understand that when you’re working hard on a project in your garage or industrial workshop, you need a bench that will stand up to the task. That’s why our kits only utilise Q Clamp fittings with 33.7mm tube to add to the strength of the workbench If you’d prefer to work with hardwood or another type of timber then try Wood Shop Direct as they will cut everything to size and deliver it to your door. Again, it’s more expensive but it takes away all the pain of sourcing, planning and cutting your timber. And it looks amazing. Step 2. Scaffold board moisture levels

The galvanising is important as it means your metalwork has been dipped in zinc to provide a layer of protection against corrosion. As well as weather resistance, this process will also help fortify your scaffold board workbench in busy or abrasive environments – like a workshop, garage or bustling kitchen. Select the right metal work bench for your space If you’re after something a little different for working at home or in the office, we have a new range of furniture that we’ve made from our salvaging work. Using scaffold board and poles that we’ve reclaimed and restored, we’ve created a whole range of industrial style desks, tables and benches using these wonderful original materials. A reclaimed wood scaffold board table will be more functional when the surface is smooth and flat. By filling the gaps, dents and cuts with a wood filler we can make the surface smooth, which makes it easier to clean and maintain. Supporting the 4 boards might now be required with a strip of wood underneath at each end. I normally use the off-cuts from the bench and cut at a 50 degree angle which span from side to side. This isn’t always necessary but can add a bit of strength to your table top. example support piece

Our scaffold board furniture range come in a range of sizes, but, if you have particular space needs, we can custom build to fit your room perfectly. Once complete, line the boards up to ensure a good fit together and plane/sand the edges if required. Step 6.

As well as being good solid sturdy timber, scaffolding boards are very cheap. Especially old scaffolding boards, which can often be bought very cheaply and sometimes are even given away free by builders. Personally, I prefer to reclaim old boards for my scaffolding board furniture DIYs, as this only adds to their rustic aesthetic. Tutorial For A Scaffolding Board Furniture Bench Upgrading your professional work area? Or are you just looking to update your metal garage workbench? Whatever the case, our range of metal work bench kits has you covered. If you are building a scaffold board table for your garden then I’d still recommend keeping it under cover for the winter months. Invest in a cover or take the time to put it into storage so that is isn’t left out in the elements all year round. Is scaffold board furniture any good? Once dry you can now remove the clamps. Your table top should now be strong enough to flip over. If you’re going for a perfectly smooth finish on your table top then it’s worth filling any holes with some wood filler. Filler can be applied and smoothed over using a putty knife or scraper. Once the filler is dry you can sand down to a 120 grit like the rest of the wood.Once you have two boards cut down for the scaffold board bench you can repeat the jointing process same per the above, except you will only use the two cut-down boards. Step 7. Filling and sanding Working with Q Clamp products means your metal work bench is incredibly robust, versatile, cost effective and easy to install. Each of our kits is made from 33.7mm galvanised tube with clamps, a scaffold board top and shelving.
