A scaffolding clamp construction in which two elongated scaffolding members are secured together at a desired angle with respect to each other by a scaffolding clamp having a pair of grooves on opposite sides of a block means, the grooves being of a depth sufficient so that the scaffolding members are substantially disposed within the grooves, there being clamping members for retaining the scaffolding members in position in the clamp. The block means may consist of two separate blocks which can be angularly adjusted with respect to each other to adjust the angular position of the scaffolding members. In the preferred form, however, the block is a solid block and bolts extend through the block on opposite diagonal corners, the bolts acting both as means for pivotally holding the clamping bars at one end and clamping the bar at its opposite end against the scaffolding member. By reason of the fact that the assemblage of the two clamp bars and the two bolts completely surround the two scaffolding members at the area where they cross each other and that the bars and bolts are of material having a relatively high tensile strength, the material of the block means need not necessarily be of such high tensile strength.
