What Tie Wire Costs Your Crew
Crew Hours Back per Year
Labor Saved per Year
Estimate only: assumes 6 min per board and a 70% saving from Diamond's internal timing, not independently verified. Details
6 minutes per board is a planning assumption; the 70% comes from Diamond's own warehouse timing. Built to cut toeboard install time. Savings shown here are estimates while independent testing is completed. Your results depend on crew, scaffold system and site.
The Old Way Is Wire and Nails
Many sites still wire and nail toeboards. Drag the slider to see the same tower both ways.
- Tie Wire and Nails
- Wire cut, wrapped and twisted at every post. Blocking nailed in. Wire ends and nails left at teardown.
- Diamond Deck
- One bracket clamps to the tube. Boards drop into pockets and lock. Nothing to cut or clean up.
What You Get With Diamond Deck
What changes on the scaffold when toeboards clamp on instead of being wired.
No Wire to Cut
No #9 tie wire to cut, wrap and twist, and no wire tails left on the deck.
No Nails to Pull
No wood blocking to cut and nail in, and no nails to pull at teardown.
Corners Lock Square
Straight for a run, square for a corner or any angle, then lock the pivot.
Nothing to Clean Up
Loosen, lift the boards out, unclamp. No wire ends or bent nails left behind.
Back to the Yard
Steel brackets come off whole, go back to the yard and out on the next job.
A Pack HSE Can Review
Product data, install steps and testing status in one submittal pack.
Side by Side, Same Warehouse
Our own footage: old method left, Diamond Deck right, both sped up the same.
Internal warehouse footage, not an independent time study. Independent testing is in progress.
Three Moves per Post
Clamp, set the angle, drop in the boards. The scaffold itself does not change.
Step 1
Clamp
Tighten the coupler onto the vertical tube at deck level.
Step 2
Set the Angle
Swing the arms straight for a run or square for a corner, then lock the pivot.
Step 3
Drop In the Boards
Seat the toeboards in the pockets and snug the set screws.
Inside the Bracket
Tube Coupler
A C-shaped clamp with a clamp screw grips the vertical scaffold tube.
Two Bracket Arms
Arms of about 6-1/4 in end in pockets sized for 2x4 lumber, about 2 x 2 x 2 in.
Set-Screw Pockets
A set screw locks each board in its pocket.
Pivot Lock
A pin-and-sleeve pivot sets the arms straight, at a 90 degree corner or any angle, then locks.
Wood or Metal Boards
Takes standard 2x4 lumber or metal toeboards. No changes to the scaffold.
U.S. Patent Pending
An application covering the bracket, its adjustable pivot and the installation method is on file.

Questions Buyers Ask
How Do You Attach a Toeboard Without Tie Wire?
Clamp the Diamond Deck coupler to the vertical tube at deck level, set the arms straight or square for a corner, lock the pivot, and drop the boards into the pockets. A set screw holds each board, so there is nothing to wire, nail or block.
What Does It Clamp To?
The vertical post of the scaffold, at deck level, with a coupler and clamp screw. It does not attach to the planks or ledgers.
Can It Do Corners?
Yes. The arms pivot and lock straight, square or at any angle in between, so one bracket handles runs and corners.
Does It Fit My Scaffold System?
Fit testing on major tube scaffold systems is in progress. Use the fit checker above or tell us your system in the quote form and we will confirm.
Does OSHA Approve Toeboard Brackets?
OSHA does not approve or certify products; employers meet the standard on site. Designed to the toeboard requirements of 29 CFR 1926.451(h)(4). Load testing in progress. The rule calls for boards at least 3-1/2 in high, no more than 1/4 in above the deck, able to take 50 lb in any downward or horizontal direction.
Has It Been Load Tested or Reviewed by an Engineer?
Professional Engineer review in progress. Load testing is under way too. Results will be added to the submittal pack.
What Boards Does It Take?
Standard 2x4 dimensional lumber or metal toeboards. The pockets are about 2 x 2 x 2 in.
What Finish Does It Have?
Steel with a high-visibility orange coating.
Can I Rent Instead of Buy?
We plan to offer both. Tell us which you need in your quote request and we will price it.
Is It Reusable?
It is designed to be reused: steel, clamped not nailed, and it comes off with the scaffold.
When Do I Install Toeboards?
After decking and before work starts, as directed by the scaffold's competent person.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing is by written quote for your quantity. Request a quote on the quote page or call us.
