Single scaffold: one row of standards + ledgers + putlogs. Putlogs are horizontal members with one end resting on the ledger and the other end in the wall joint. Suitable only for brick masonry where holes are left and later grouted. For concrete (no holes possible) or renovation, independent scaffold is used.
