I've been looking into getting some scaffolding for some jobs around the house. Honestly, I may need it for both inside and outside.
I see various products where they specifically list scaffolding as being "interior" or "exterior". I cannot find an explanation anywhere.
Can I use exterior scaffolding indoors? Can I use interior scaffolding outside? Is there a difference? Do I need to get both?
FYI: Since I have no idea how to tag this (I used ladder because places like to group scaffolding and ladders), I fear it may be off topic. If so, please advise where I can ask this question.

You're really going to have to look at them up close & personal if a simple 2x12 across 2 or more supports isn't to your liking. Interiors are either a fancy version of the 2x12 on empty 5-gallon buckets or self-standing & rolling cages of quite short lengths.
Exterior usually is not self-standing & must be anchored to the building, negating its use inside altogether, but they are made to receive additional sections & levels.
If you haven't used ladders & ladder jacks for exterior scaffolding you may want to try that out first & they can be used indoors with the Werner type of adjustable ladders that can be used as step or straight ladders.
