Superb 7m DIY Scaffold Tower - Aluminium (Tubesca First 7)

Needed to replace some guttering but was getting silly quotes from local firms. So bought the tower to do it myself. Straightforward to build (tips: assemble the bottom scissor struts first as they share a bolt, use the innermost bolt holes for the red clamps on the floor stages). Design is well thought-out as it is easy to use and not difficult to move even when at full 7m height. Putting up and taking down is not too time-consuming - the tower can be constructed on its side if you don't like working at height when the tower isn't at its most robust (e.g., adding the topmost guard rails). In short, saved £250 on the gutters and got a free top quality tower which is already helping to do other jobs around the outside of the house. Proper job.

I have just assembled this 7m tower and used it a bit. I am impressed. Toptower were very helpful when I rang them about delivery and it arrived very quickly (next day) and much quicker than was quoted. On the product:Pluses* Much easier to assemble than flat pack furniture. It took a few hours the first time but will be much quicker in future as there are lots of one off things to do.* No components missing* Good quality aluminium frame and quality components (8.8 bolts with locking nuts). Well thought through design.* I felt safe on it. The additional braces are rock solid, above those it flexes but not alarmingly and you would have to do something really crazy to tip it* Lots of flexibility on platform heightMinuses* The instructions are one sheet of pictures with no text. They are sufficient but only just. You have to think a bit occasionally and look at the pictures on the various websites or on the wrapping to be sure. There is no safety guidance and it would be worth educating yourself on the PASMA and other sites* There are lots of sharp edges where the components have been cut. Either sand them or wear gloves forever.This is much safer than a ladder. It is also considerably more expensive but I have no regrets as I think I have been lucky in the past. This is a sensible solution.

This is the first time I have had a Scaffolding tower. Am impressed. It is stable provided the base is level. Easy to assemble after doing it a couple of times.The instructions could be improved to ensure the brackets are put on in the correct order, it is easier to clip on depending on which way you do it, and it took a while to work out. The clips on the platforms also seem a bit vulnerable, as they are made from plastic. I would have preferred metal.

I looked at a few comparable products on Amazon before choosing this one. After I placed my order I requested delivery on a specific day and things could not have been made easier for me, the communication regarding the delivery were prompt and helpful and further, the tower was delivered just when I asked for it.The scaffolding came in two manageable packs each of which can be carried by a single person. There was some first time assembly required but having completed that, the tower is simple to erect. The components are light (a benefit) but strong and well made. Erected to full height the scaffolding is stable and I had confidence working at the top. Using the wheels my wife and I were able to reposition the full height tower several times as required with a minimum of fuss.Overall could not have been more pleased.

Built it all up climbed to top it collapsed now I’m dead

This ad is misleading. Looking at the images, it looks far taller than the stated max height of less than 5m. And what is the additional 2 m for? A guardrail would be about 1m. I would never climb in a tower with this kind of misleading info.

There is a bit of assembly involved at first; putting the brackets onto the horizontal and angled supports. Building the tower is quite quick; really like the video. It appears sturdy enough ( I am 17 stone) yet really light to manhandle. I am looking forward to the better weather to get up the sides of the house to repair & clean guttering, a bit of repointing and tree surgery.I am not a fan of tall ladders because I feel that they restrict the are in which you are working and I feel the need to constantly hold on with one hand.

Needed a 7m tower to work safely on the facia boards of my 150year old house (tall) - this 7m tower is perfect - at full height it is stable and has a big enough platform to work efficiently but the whole thing is small enough to store easily and move around quickly. My son and I put this together in less than half an hour. The supplier has been fantastic with quick and helpful communication, oh and did I mention great value for money - highly recommended !
