1. A method of creating on offset working surface to an assembled scaffold structure, said assembled scaffold structure comprising a first and second vertical scaffold members, said first and second vertical scaffold members spaced apart and connected by spaced apart first and second horizontal scaffold members, said assembled first and second vertical and horizontal scaffold members creating a planar scaffold structure, said method comprising the steps of
(a) providing a first and second scaffold knee-out member, each scaffold knee-out member having
a first scaffold member and a second scaffold member, said first scaffold member having a distal and proximal end, said second scaffold member having a distal and proximal end, a first scaffold connector pivotally positioned on said proximal end of said first scaffold member, said first scaffold connector adapted to couple to a vertical scaffold member, said distal end of said second scaffold member pivotally coupled to said distal end of said first scaffold member, and said proximal end of said second scaffold member having a second scaffold connector mounted thereon, said second scaffold connector adapted to couple to a vertical scaffold member; (b) coupling said first knee-out member to said first vertical scaffold by:
(i) coupling said first scaffold connector to said first vertical scaffold member at a first couple location, with said first and second scaffold members supported and hanging downwardly from said first couple location, substantially parallel to said first vertical scaffold member(ii) lifting said first knee-out member's second scaffold member upwardly, to thereby pivot said first scaffold member of said first knee-out member with respect to said second scaffold member of said first knee-out member and to pivot said first scaffold member of said first knee-out member outwardly from said planar scaffold structure, until said first scaffold member is substantially horizontal;(iii) coupling said second scaffold connector to said first vertical scaffold member at a second couple location position below said first couple location; (c) coupling said second knee-out member to said second vertical scaffold member by
(i) coupling said first scaffold connector to said second vertical scaffold member at a first couple location, with said first and second scaffold members of said second knee-out member supported and hanging downwardly from said first couple location on said second vertical scaffold member;(ii) lifting said second knee-out member's second scaffold member upwardly, to thereby pivot said first scaffold member of said second knee-out member with respect to said second scaffold member of said second knee-out member and to pivot said first scaffold member of said second knee-out member outwardly from said planar scaffold structure until said first scaffold member of said second knee-out member is substantially horizontal;(iii) coupling said second scaffold connector on said second knee-out member to said second vertical scaffold member at a second couple location position below said first couple location on said second vertical scaffold member; (d) position scaffold flooring horizontally between said first knee-out section first scaffold member and said second knee-out member first scaffold member to provide a working surface. |
