Abstract: The wall hanging scaffold includes a pair of vertical support poles, which hang from top plate attachment brackets along the wall of a building structure. Each pole has a rigid, monolithic, triangulated brace removably and vertically adjustably secured thereto, with a support platform extending across the braces. Additional safety structure, i.e., safety posts, may be installed in the outboard ends of the braces, with safety rails being installed across the safety posts. A pulley may also be placed in the upper end of a safety post for lifting material and equipment up to the scaffold from the underlying surface. A diagonal brace(s) may be secured to one or more of the upper top plate hanger brackets to relieve stress on the otherwise unbraced wall due to the scaffold resting thereon during construction. The scaffold may remain in place up to closure of the eaves and soffit of the structure.
