Guardrail Edge Protection Hire

Engineered guardrail systems that protect workers, streamline compliance, and eliminate the need for full scaffolding on residential and commercial builds.

Certified Edge Protection Systems for Safer Roof & Void Access

Edge protection is a critical safety system that prevents falls from roofs, balconies, slab edges, and upper-storey voids during construction. Our guardrail-based edge protection platforms are quick to install, fully modular, and designed to suit both timber and steel frame structures.

At Direct Scaffold Supplies, we supply and install WHS-compliant guardrail systems across all of Brisbane and SE QLD, helping builders stay ahead of safety requirements while maintaining efficiency. Unlike traditional perimeter scaffolding, our edge protection systems mount directly to the building, leaving the ground area completely free for other trades. Perfect for roof installs, solar, void protection, and multi-stage builds.

  • Roof edge, slab edge, void, and stairwell coverage

The building industry is facing one of its toughest times and reliable suppliers are hard to come by. Direct Scaffolds are one of the few suppliers we've dealt with who were not only responsive but they have delivered on time, with great service and at a cost effective price point. This is the first build where our construction company have used them and we will certainly continue to do so for future jobs.

I had the best experience working with this company. From the production manager, installers and the operations manager, all interactions were helpful, polite and extremely professional. They understood my personal circumstances and worked with me to tailor a solution to my needs.

Direct Scaffold did a great job scaffolding our house. They got very responsible and respectful workers. The left the site very neat and they wrapped up all spare parts after they completed their work. The leader Jeff came and check the work the next day. We were very lucky to have them!

Guardrail Edge Protection FAQs

Edge protection is a temporary safety barrier system used on roofs, balconies, stairwells, or slabs to prevent falls during construction. It’s required under WHS legislation whenever there’s a risk of working at heights.

Yes. Our edge protection systems are engineered to comply with AS/NZS 4994.1 and all relevant WHS codes of practice in Queensland. We provide certification and compliance documents on install.

We service Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba, and regional SE QLD, providing certified edge protection solutions for all building types.

For specific tasks like roofing, fascia, solar, or void work, guardrails are often faster, cheaper, and safer than full scaffold. They keep the ground clear and speed up trade scheduling.

Our team will assess your build type and site layout to recommend the best-fit system—whether it’s for roofs, stair voids, slabs, or external perimeters. We tailor solutions for both residential and commercial projects.
