Aluminum scaffolding is a great way to create scaffolds and towers at the start of a show or production, so that everyone can build the sets, but it has to be kept in mind that the more structures you put up, the more angles you will have to deal with. You might find that you need more than a few employees to pull your scaffold off of the ground. You might want a crew of ten people doing this part of the job.
Stage designers always take into account what it is like for anyone who will be on stage. If there are stairs or lifts that will be used by people or you will be walking over uneven terrain, make sure that you have enough scaffolding for each level. That will also save you money because if you buy the wrong size, you could be left stranded on the stage and it won't do you any good to be there.
When you decide to build your aluminum scaffolding, consider how you will use it. For example, if you are going to use it for a second story set, you might just need scaffolding for the first floor, maybe two levels of scaffolding, all with some type of railings on them. With that, you can safely build a new entrance from the top level, allowing for easy access to the next level. Once you've accomplished that task, you can move on to the second story without worrying about getting your scaffolding out of alignment, or taking steps to correct it.
Some stage designers go all out and complete the building of an entire stage out of aluminum scaffolding, adding a fantastic interior area, including dance floors, custom lighting and sound equipment, toilets, sinks, and even benches for chairs. This stage can add a lot of excitement to a production and make for great special effects.
Most stage designers keep an aluminum scaffolding building on display in the performance hall or studio. It's not just for a few days either, it might be there for months, but it all depends on the size of the production and the number of days that are needed for that production. With all of the time that is invested into creating the stage, it's worth investing some money into a stage prop to help enhance the overall look of the production.
Aluminum scaffolding stage props can come in a variety of styles. You can find scaffolding designed to be used for different sizes of stages. There are different types of materials used for scaffolding, which include hard-wearing metals, PVC, MDF, hardwood, wicker, and aluminum.
The hardest material used for scaffolding is wood, which is used in the construction of scaffolding made of a hard-wearing metal material. Aluminum is another durable material, as well as aluminum fabric, wood, and plastic. You will find that there are various colors and finishes to choose from, from natural to polished, with brass, bronze, and even black materials used to finish it off.
One of the biggest benefits of using aluminum scaffolding is that it is very durable and will last for a long time, if not forever. There are numerous instances where aluminum scaffolding has stood up to being dropped from helicopters, and through the mud and sand in the deserts. Other scaffolds can be very easily repaired, if they are broken, while other types require special tools to fix it.
While steel and other metals are used in making scaffolding, aluminum is the most common metal that is used. Aluminum is a metal that will not rust, unlike iron, which tends to rust after a while. This is especially useful in a production environment where there are a lot of items that will be touched by the audience, so that if there is a mishap that happens, it is easier to repair the equipment in question.
Steel scaffolding is not really as sturdy as it may seem, which is why many contractors prefer to use aluminum. Another benefit of aluminum is that it will not rust, unlike steel, and other metals. It can withstand changes in weather, which makes it ideal for many applications.
The greatest advantage of using an aluminum scaffolding stage prop is that it is so easy to transport, so you won't have to worry about it getting ruined during transport. You can simply remove it from the site, and have it ready to go, without having to have someone move and set it up on the site.
