2x4's are not good scaffold materials for one of two reasons. 1) To build it properly and safe you need extreme amounts of materials which is expensive 2) Beacuse of the cost of 2x4's most people cut corners which makes it unsafe.
What are you scaffolding and perhaps other ideas will come in
If you need plans for scaffolding you should not be building it, Not trying to be mean. Like chris said maybe there is a better way, what are you doing?
(For a newbi/DIYer, trying to figure out how to build a safe, temporary staging set-up would not be advised. It would also be a waste of non-reusable lumber)
(If you're anywhere near me, you're welcome to borrow my scaffolding at no charge)
Atlantic, I would not loan my best friend my scaffolding, much less a stranger. I won't even let other trades use any I have set up. The liability is enormous.
