New Scaffold Boards - Chunky - 225mm width FAQ's

The key difference is thickness. Our chunky boards are 63mm thick compared to standard boards at 38mm – that's over 65% thicker! This extra depth creates a more substantial, premium look and provides greater structural strength for heavy-duty projects. The width (225mm) and length options remain the same. Chunky boards are perfect when you want your furniture to make a bold statement or need additional load-bearing capacity for shelving, worktops, or tables.

Yes! Our new chunky scaffold boards are Air-dried to 10-15% moisture content and can be used outdoors. However, we strongly recommend applying an appropriate outdoor wood treatment, sealant, or paint to protect against weathering, moisture, and UV damage. Without proper treatment, any timber will deteriorate when exposed to the elements. Regular maintenance will ensure your outdoor furniture or cladding stays beautiful for years to come.

It depends on which finish you choose. Our unsanded boards (£5.95) are raw and will need sanding before finishing – ideal if you want full control over the final texture. Our sanded boards (£10.95) are smooth and ready for staining, painting, or sealing. Our special finish boards (£13.95) are hand-sanded and finished in popular colours like Jacobean Oak or Natural – these are completely furniture-ready and can be used straight away or sealed for extra protection.

When properly installed with appropriate brackets and fixings, chunky scaffold board shelves can support significant weight – typically 100kg per shelf depending on length, bracket spacing, and wall type. The 63mm thickness provides excellent rigidity and resistance to sagging compared to standard boards. For heavy-duty applications like workshop storage or extensive book collections, we recommend using heavy-duty shelf brackets spaced no more than 900mm apart and ensuring they're securely fixed to wall studs or using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type.

Absolutely! We offer custom cutting services for all our chunky boards. Simply contact us at hello@thescaffshop.com with your required dimensions, and we'll provide a quote. Please note that custom-cut boards are bespoke items and cannot be returned unless faulty.
