I bought these to use as scaffolding when replacing the siding on my house and have been pleased.  They perform exactly as advertised.  They're fairly quick to erect even though I had no help.  They're quite stable with the recommended bracing and the 2204Q handrail makes them MUCH safer than a plank alone.  I hate heights, so that was important for me.  The only real inconvenience is the necessity of having to move the braces to work directly where they're attached or move the pump jack past a brace.  Extra braces have to be used so you can attach a new brace before you remove the existing one.  Since I had a lot of work to do before having to move the braces, I feel it's still a good scaffolding solution. The best advice I can offer is to think through how you plan to move or work around the braces before you put them up.
