Tables

It is 'relatively easy' to build tables from reclaimed scaffold board, whether you’re looking for a large dining room table, a new desk or a coffee table for your living room. The design options, sizes and uses for a scaffold board table in your house are endless! You may be looking to create a bench-style table with bench style chairs which can also be made from reclaimed scaffold boards, a box-shape table without legs for your hallway or a stylish dining room table with legs made from a different material of your choice, or maybe even a fireplace guard table to cover your radiator but give you extra shelf space and a clean rustic look. 

In the garden

Scaffold board has a variety of uses for outside in your garden too. For outdoor use, reclaimed scaffold boards can be left untreated for a more natural aesthetic, they can however, also be treated for a cleaner and more prominent look. 

Decking

Reclaimed scaffold boards can be used to create a long-lasting and rustic looking decking area. Your decking area can be built in all shapes and sizes to correctly fit your garden and can even be a raised area with steps.

Pergola

Reclaimed Scaffold boards are perfect for creating a stunning center piece of a pergola in your garden, providing a spacious outdoor living and relaxing area. A pergola also creates a great habitat for creeping plants, such as vines.

Raised flower beds

Finally, Reclaimed scaffold boards can also be used to create a simple border around your flower beds or raised flower beds, to separate form the garden area and ensure your flowers stand tall and prominent. These are ideal for planting flowers and plants, as well as for growing fruit and vegetables if you are an avid gardener.
