Scaffolding planks

I brought Kwickstage scaffolding to France, doing final run with my possessions. Can I buy 8ft scaff planks in France?
Want to avoid lugging them over if necessary!
Thanks.

Can I buy 8ft scaff planks in France?

Think French ones will be a tad longer - usually 3m, so closer to 10ft

Not seen wooden ones, I bring mine over from the UK.

Yes and no.

Actual scaffolding boards are rare as hens teeth - metal integrated boards are the nor

But you can obviously get timber in the right form - not banded etc

Lot of timber still around here (12) but we’re probably a bit behind everywhere else.

Not wholly relevant, but interesting that (within my experience) French artisans own, rather than hire scaffolding.

I ordered planks from BigMat. I think they’re national rather than specific to this area right? As @DrMarkH said they were definitely longer than 8ft, but I forget how long as it was a few years ago and you’d not get me up scaffolding if your life depended on it! But they were cheap and did the job.
