This type of scaffolding is commonly used and particularly in the construction of brickwork. It consists of a single row of standards placed at a distance of about 1.20 m from the wall. The spacing between the standards is about 2–2.5 m. The ledgers are fixed at a vertical distance of 1.20–1.80 m on the standards.
The putlogs are placed at a horizontal spacing of 1.20–1.80 m. The details of the scaffolding is shown in Fig. 22.4. This type of scaffolding is also called as putlog scaffolding.

In order to extend the work vertically, the platform is raised by extending, the standards by adding extra pieces. The scaffolding is removed, generally, after the completion of plastering and pointing works. After the removal of the scaffolding, the holes in the walls used by putlogs are filled immediately.
