Abstract: A scaffold apparatus usable in conjunction with conventional on-site building materials to provide an adjustable scaffold, the scaffold apparatus having a matched pair of plank brackets with a releasable clamping mechanism adapted to clamp the brackets to a pair of spaced timber posts, the plank brackets having cantilevered arm portions extending from the post on which a horizontal cross plank is supported, the brackets having an adjustment mechanism cooperating with a cable for raising and lowering the brackets and cross plank on the timber posts, the plank brackets in combination with additional hardware for supporting and bracing the timber posts forming a compact scaffolding kit.
