When most people think of scaffolding, the first image that comes to mind is probably a construction site, with workers using metal frameworks to reach higher levels of a building. But scaffolding isn’t just for residential or commercial construction projects! Here at Next Level Scaffolding, we service all of Northland, with a focus on Whangarei, and we’ve seen scaffolding put to use in a wide range of surprising and creative ways.
Whether you’re in need of scaffolding for a unique project or looking to understand the versatility of this essential tool, here’s a look at some unexpected ways scaffolding can be used, outside of traditional home-building.
Scaffolding is a popular choice for large outdoor events, including music festivals, sporting events, and corporate gatherings. In Whangarei and beyond, scaffolding is used to build sturdy, safe staging and elevated platforms. Whether it’s for a concert stage, VIP viewing platform, or a spot to hold an exhibition booth, scaffolding is the go-to solution. It’s flexible and can be adapted to suit the scale of your event, ensuring safety and comfort for everyone in attendance.
Another creative use of scaffolding is in the world of film and photography. For high-quality shots, especially in aerial or wide-angle views, scaffolding offers an excellent and stable platform. It allows filmmakers and photographers to get the perfect angle and lighting, while remaining safe above the action. Whether it's for a film set or a photo shoot, scaffolding can provide the right foundation for your creative vision.
Scaffolding is frequently used in the industrial sector for maintenance and cleaning of tall structures like bridges, towers, and factories. In Whangarei, we’ve had the opportunity to assist with scaffolding installations for the maintenance of large machinery and towers. The ability to safely access hard-to-reach places makes scaffolding an invaluable asset for these kinds of projects.
It may surprise you to learn that scaffolding is sometimes used in the world of art! Large-scale public art installations and sculptures often require scaffolding to provide a stable and secure framework for assembly. From constructing massive sculptures to intricate urban art projects, scaffolding plays a crucial role in creating awe-inspiring works of art. In Northland, many local artists have turned to scaffolding to bring their bold visions to life.
Restoring historical buildings or landmarks can be a delicate process, and scaffolding plays a significant role in the effort. Whether it's a heritage building in Whangarei or an old lighthouse on the coast, scaffolding allows workers to access hard-to-reach areas while ensuring that the structure is not damaged in the process. Restoration projects benefit from the customisability of scaffolding, which can be adjusted to meet the unique needs of any landmark.
While not always the first thing that comes to mind, scaffolding can also be used in the agricultural industry, particularly when working with tall crops or trees. Scaffolding can be used for harvesting fruits, trimming tall trees, or even for inspecting equipment and facilities. It provides a reliable, temporary platform for farm workers, making it easier and safer to complete various agricultural tasks.

Based in Whangarei, we serve the Northland region with top-quality scaffolding services for a wide range of industries and projects.

The team at Next Level Scaffolding are experts in navigating their way around obstacles and hazards when erecting scaffold. Thorough planning as well as having a clear understanding of site safety requirements ensures that not only can scaffolding be built in and around hard to reach places, but it is also safe for tradesman to work from.
Our team recently erected a scaffold in Whangarei Northland for a local motel, and needed to work around a pool that was present in the area where the scaffold needed to be. Our team quickly identified the space, created a clear plan on how to work around the pool, ensuring safety and efficiency, and erected the scaffolding which gave safe access for the roofer to complete the roof replacement.
Not only can we plan to get scaffold around hazards or obstacles in the way, but we do this in the safest way possible, ensuring stability of the scaffold and safety at heights when tradesman are completing work while on our builds.

With summer drawing to an end here in Northland, now is a crucial time to get roof repairs, exterior painting and maintenance sorted before the wet weather kicks in.
At Next Level Scaffolding, we choose to work with Tube and Clip scaffolding. It is commonly called ‘Tube and Coupler” scaffold, it is extremely versatile and widely used across many construction sites due to the unlimited structural possibilities. Many other scaffolding types are not able to offer this much versatility, which is why tube and clip is our choice of scaffold. This choice of scaffold however comes with a labour-intensive cost, due to its ability for precision and capacity to be applied to more technical builds.
Edge protection is a cost effective scaffolding solution we offer our roofers, roofing companies and painters who are in need of scaffold for projects such as new roof replacements, roof maintenance, exterior painting and cleaning.
