the stringers are just 2x4 on edge doubled by nailing there are 5 of them under the 3/4" plywood the Brick scaffold I have set up on the bus is only 7' 2" c/c of each frame set the connecting pins are bolted to the bottom and the top frame sets not just slip fitted once the platform is completed and I lift it to the top then it will be secured to the frame sets mostly because our winds could turn it into a sail if it was free to move. I have jumped up and down on the platform while it is laying on the stands there is little to no give so it is plenty strong. I have some 2 x8 planks but not enough to make a full platform.
Screws would have been nice to attach the plywood to the stringer but I only had either some 1 inch or some 3 1/2" 1 inch would have been too short and the 3 1/2 inch would have been ridiculous to use. The nails are also 3 1/2" and are going to be hard to remove when it is time to reclaim the lumber and plywood but I was out of 2" for my smaller nailer
