Comprehensive Scaffolding Supplies in NZ
At Woodmart, we stock a full range of products required for scaffolding projects, including scaffolding planks, kick boards, and sole boards. Our LVL scaffold planks are made from structural laminated veneer lumber (LVL), engineered from thin veneers to deliver exceptional uniformity and strength. Each plank is individually proof tested to comply with AS/NZS 1577 standards, giving you peace of mind on every job.
LVL Scaffold Planks – Strength, Safety & Durability
Crafted from premium Radiata pine, our LVL scaffold planks are a trusted alternative to conventional timber. Builders and contractors across New Zealand rely on them for their high strength, lightweight handling, and proven durability. Unlike metal planks, LVL planks perform better in corrosive environments. Thanks to a wax emulsion end seal, moisture ingress is reduced, helping each plank retain its structural integrity even in tough conditions.
Kick Boards – Protecting Your Worksite
Kick boards are an essential safety feature on any scaffold. They create a strong barrier at each level, preventing tools, equipment, and debris from falling onto workers or pedestrians below. Woodmart provides high-quality kick boards at competitive prices, helping you maintain a safer, more compliant construction zone.
Sole Boards – A Solid Foundation
Our heavy-duty sole boards are rough sawn to better absorb and manage moisture. At 42mm thick, they’re built to withstand heavy loads and distribute scaffolding weight evenly across the ground. Positioned beneath base jacks, these boards are designed to handle New Zealand’s unpredictable weather while delivering long-lasting reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of scaffolding boards do you offer?
We offer a range of scaffolding boards including LVL scaffold planks, kick boards, and sole boards. Our products are designed for strength, durability, and suitability to New Zealand’s building conditions.
What is an LVL scaffold plank and how is it different from regular timber?
LVL stands for Laminated Veneer Lumber. Unlike regular timber, LVL is made by bonding multiple thin veneers together. This process gives the planks more uniform strength and structural integrity. At Woodmart, our LVL scaffold planks are proof tested to meet the AS/NZS 1577 standard, so you know they’ll perform reliably on the job.
Why are kick boards & sole boards important for scaffolding?
Kick boards help prevent objects or debris from falling off each level of the scaffold, protecting workers and bystanders below. Sole boards provide stability – placed under base jacks, they distribute the load of the scaffold, reduce sinking, and help cope with moisture or uneven ground surfaces.
What timber are your boards made of?
Many of our planks are made from Radiata pine, which is a commonly used and trusted timber in NZ construction due to its strength and availability. Our boards are manufactured to handle exposure to weather and moisture.
Are your scaffolding boards weather-proof or treated for NZ’s environment?
Yes. For example, our LVL scaffold planks are end-sealed with a wax emulsion to help reduce moisture ingress. Sole boards are rough sawn to better handle moisture. Both features help maintain structural integrity, even in NZ’s often variable weather conditions.
What thickness are your sole boards and are they robust enough?
Our sole boards are 42 mm thick, which gives them strength and durability to distribute load and resist wear. They are built for heavy duty use, including supporting base jacks under scaffolding.
Do you supply for both small and large construction projects?
Yes. Whether you're a homeowner doing a small renovation or a contractor managing a large site, Woodmart can assist. We provide products in different quantities and offer competitive pricing. Feel free to contact us for a quote.
Are the products compliant with local building standards?
Definitely. The LVL scaffold planks, in particular, are proof-tested for compliance with AS/NZS 1577, which ensures they meet specific safety and structural standards in New Zealand.
