Decks & Planks

What Are Scaffolding Planks?

Scaffolding planks, also called scaffold boards or walking decks, are horizontal load-bearing components laid across scaffold bays to create work surfaces. They must support heavy loads, resist bending, and provide traction underfoot in all conditions.

From LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) planks to galvanized steel and aluminum options, we offer a wide selection tailored to the requirements of construction contractors, industrial maintenance teams, and scaffold rental companies across Canada.

Types of Scaffold Platforms We Offer

Different projects demand different solutions. At North Scaffold, we carry a full range of scaffolding planks and decks to match system compatibility, budget, and environmental factors.

Laminated LVL Planks

• Engineered wood planks with high load capacity
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Durable bonding for moisture resistance

Steel Scaffold Planks

• Excellent for high-load or long-span use
• Fire resistant for industrial scaffold services
• Anti-slip surface design for added safety

Aluminum Plywood & Composite Decks

• Lightweight yet strong
• Preferred for quick installs and frequent movement
• Ideal for mobile scaffold towers and fit-outs
• Comes in 19” & 24” widths to cover more surface area with less

Hatch Decks

• Designed for full platform access
• Compatible with modular frame and ringlock systems

Corner Planks

• Designed for tight hard to navigate corners
• Saves materials while providing a safe alternative to planks or grid mesh

All planks are quality-tested and manufactured to comply with CSA standards. Whether you’re buying single replacements or planning a large-scale system install, we’ve got your platform covered.

Why Plank Quality Matters?

The scaffolding planks you choose directly impact worker safety and system performance. Substandard planks are prone to warping, breakage, or surface delamination, putting workers and timelines at risk.

When you source from North Scaffold, you’re investing in:

• Consistent dimensions for a flush, stable work surface
• Structural integrity for long-term use
• Anti-slip and weather-resistant properties
• Easy compatibility with Canadian scaffolding standards

These aren’t just boards – they’re lifelines for your team’s safety.

How to Choose the Right Scaffolding Planks?

Which planks are right for your site? Here’s what to consider:

• Load capacity requirements: Will your platform carry heavy tools or multiple workers?
• Weather exposure: Are you working in wet, humid, or freezing conditions
• Reusability: Is this a one-time use, or do you need long-lasting components?
• System type: Compatibility with frame, ringlock, or tube-and-clamp systems
• Mobility needs: Will your crew be moving planks frequently?
