    Portable Scaffold

    I used the bil-jax stuff commercially for a while. When double stacking you have to use the outriggers or it gets a little iffy. The safety rails are up to you, but they get in the way. My suggestion would be to either rent a set for a weekend to see how you like them or to go to a rental or...
