If you’ve built a greenhouse frame—or any temporary steel structure—you already know the unsung heroes are the connectors. Our Scaffolding Clamps come out of Hebei, China, and, to be honest, they’ve surprised a few seasoned site managers with how well they hold up in wet, windy, mixed-weather installations.
There’s a quiet shift happening: more growers and contractors want drop-forged, hot-dip galvanized fittings—less flashy, more durable. Demand is driven by greenhouse expansions, pop-up logistics bays, and event staging that needs quick install, quick tear-down, minimal rework. Many customers say the Scaffolding Clamps save them hours because they “bite” consistently at torque, even after months outdoors.

Scaffolding Clamps are built for greenhouse frameworks, construction access towers, temporary bracing, event truss tie-ins, even shipyard and yard-storage bays. Actually, I’ve seen them on community gardens—tight footprint, big stability. Feedback? “No re-tightening after storms,” one Oregon grower told us. Another contractor noted: “Threads still smooth after three rotations across sites.”

Scaffolding Clamps are produced under ISO 9001 QMS with testing protocols referencing EN 74 and BS 1139. For jobsite safety, align tightening and load assumptions with your engineer’s calcs and local code (OSHA 1926 Subpart L in the U.S.). As always, real-world loads, weather, and installer technique affect outcomes.
