Prices as of 2026 from Lynx Scaffolding, Taguig. Final cost depends on number of sets, rental duration, and project scope — see factors below.
H-frame is the workhorse of scaffolding in the Philippines — the H-shaped steel frames you’ve probably seen outside half-finished houses or commercial buildings. At Lynx Scaffolding, H-frame scaffolding for rent starts at ₱400 per set per month. Each set is made from galvanized steel and rated to hold up to 250kg, which is more than enough for a painter, a paint bucket, and a roller pole.
Platform boards (or “tabla” as some painters call them) are the walkways that sit on top of your H-frame, without them, your scaffold is just a metal skeleton nobody can stand on. Platform boards for rent at Lynx run ₱300 per piece per month, and they’re built to slot directly into standard H-frame systems.
Most homeowners don’t think about platforms until the H-frame is already delivered, so it’s worth asking for both together. One trip, one delivery fee, less hassle for you.
GI (galvanized iron) pipes are the flexible option — useful when your project has an odd shape, needs extra bracing, or extends a standard H-frame setup higher or wider than usual. GI pipe rental at Lynx ranges from ₱50 to ₱180 per piece per month, depending on the pipe length and diameter you need.
If you’re not sure whether your project needs H-frame, GI pipe, or a mix of both, that’s a normal question, just describe your job (storey height, what kind of work, how long you’ll need it) and a supplier can recommend the right combo.
This is the part most first-time renters get wrong — they either over-order (and overpay) or under-order (and end up needing a second delivery mid-project).
