We are back! Scaffolding in winter – 2026, a new scaffolding year with Gerüstbau Müller.
After a relatively warm and unusually wet start to 2026, we experienced a significant onset of winter in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) on January 5th. There was more snow than there had been in a long time.
Professional scaffolding in winter in Cologne and Bonn, also in the winter season.
A blog post about scaffolding in the winter. We know that winter brings challenges for construction projects and makes working in extreme weather conditions difficult. However, even in winter, professional scaffolding is possible in Germany. In the following, we will present information and tips to help you successfully implement projects even in the cold season.
There is no reason to worry, because we are experienced in the area of winter scaffolding and are at your side with our expertise. We know that your construction project must run smoothly even in winter, and we are well prepared to help you with this.
Professional scaffolding despite winter weather
Even in winter, scaffolding companies are active and offer professional services to advance construction projects despite adverse weather conditions. In extreme cases, when the winter weather makes work on construction sites impossible, employees must remain on standby and wait until the weather permits again.
In order to work efficiently despite the winter challenges, scaffolding companies use various strategies. A proven approach is weather protection roofs and using cladding to protect the construction site from snow, rain and wind. These measures ensure that work can continue even in bad weather.
We know how important it is to support our customers with high-quality scaffolding solutions even in winter. That’s why we rely on weather protection roofs and cladding to protect the construction site from the elements.
Our experienced scaffolding teams are well trained and have the knowledge and skills to work safely and efficiently even in winter conditions. We ensure that our employees have adequate winter equipment to protect themselves from cold and weather conditions.
During the winter, scaffolding companies take the opportunity to further train their employees and offer additional training courses. This enables employees to expand their know-how and prepare for the coming season.
In addition, many scaffolding companies are involved in winter services and assist with snow removal and ice removal. In this way, they make an important contribution to safety on construction sites and in the surrounding area.
Our priority is always to offer our customers professional and reliable scaffolding services, regardless of the weather conditions. We do not accept any work outside of the industry to ensure that our employees continuously work in their field of expertise and can optimize their skills.
This is how we and our partner for scaffolding systems Scafom RUX are able to offer our customers high-quality scaffolding solutions and successfully implement construction projects even in winter.
