Abstract
A storage structure for a scaffold is disclosed. In one embodiment, the storage structure includes at least one back panel, at least two side panels, and at least one door. The at least one back panel and the two side panels are configured to be affixed to the frame of a scaffold, and the at least one door is rotatably affixed to one of the two side panels. When the panels and the door are secured to the frame of the scaffold, an interior is defined having sides formed by the panels and door, and a top and a bottom each formed by horizontal decks of the scaffold. The panels and door hook and clamp into place on existing scaffold structures, and do not require that the scaffold be modified.

A storage structure configured for use with a scaffold, the scaffold comprising a frame, an upper horizontal deck coupled to the frame, and a lower horizontal deck coupled to the frame, wherein each of the upper horizontal deck and lower horizontal deck create a shelf, the storage structure comprising:
- a back panel;
- a first side panel;
- a second side panel;
- and
- a door rotatably coupled to one of the first side panel and the second side panel;
- wherein the back panel is configured to be affixed to at least one of the upper horizontal deck and the lower horizontal deck, and each of the first side panel and the second side panel is configured to be affixed to at least one of the frame, the upper horizontal deck, and the lower horizontal deck;
- wherein, when the back panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the door are secured to the scaffold, an interior is defined having sides formed by the back panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the door, a top formed by the upper horizontal deck, and a bottom formed by the lower horizontal deck;
- and wherein a hinge panel is affixed between the door and the one of the first side panel and the second side panel, wherein the hinge panel is configured to partially surround a portion of each of the frame, the upper horizontal deck, and the lower horizontal deck, and wherein the door is rotatably affixed to the hinge panel.
A scaffold comprising:
- a frame;
- an upper horizontal deck mounted onto the frame;
- a lower horizontal deck mounted onto the frame, each of the upper horizontal deck and the lower horizontal deck creating a shelf;
- a back panel removably affixed to at least one of the upper horizontal deck and the lower horizontal deck;
- a first side panel removably affixed to at least one of the frame, the upper horizontal deck, and the lower horizontal deck;
- a second side panel removably affixed to at least one of the frame, the upper horizontal deck, and the lower horizontal deck;
- and
- a door rotatably coupled to one of the first side panel and the second side panel;
- wherein the upper horizontal deck, the lower horizontal deck, the back panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the door define an interior of a storage structure, and wherein each of the upper horizontal deck and the lower horizontal deck are configured to be mounted at different heights along a height of the frame.
A scaffold comprising:
- a frame;
- an upper horizontal deck mounted onto the frame;
- a lower horizontal deck mounted onto the frame, each of the upper horizontal deck and the lower horizontal deck creating a shelf;
