Ilokhi yendandatho ibukeka njengengxenye eyindilinga eyindilinga yensimbi. Inokuvuleka okuyisishiyagalolunye, okuphakathi okuphakathi nesishiyagalombili ku-perimeter, okunika ukubonakala kwembali enezimbali. Ngenxa yokuvuleka okuningi, ukukhiya kwendandatho kungahlalisa ukuxhumana okuningi. Lokhu futhi kwenza ukuthi kwenzeke ukubeka induku ngesakhiwo esigoqiwe, kungaba ngama-angle angama-45 noma angama-90.
Ngoba bayakwazi ukujoyina izakhi eziningi ndawonye, ubakaki wendandatho ungadala ukufakwa kwangokwezifiso okuhlukahlukene. Abantu bavame ukuzisebenzisa emicimbini ekhethekile (imikhakha evulekile), imikhakha yezimboni (izikhala ezivaliwe), noma lapho izithiyo ezithile (njengamabhuloho kanye nezakhiwo, imibhoshongo kanye nezakhiwo emithambekeni engajwayelekile) zivikele ekufakelweni ezinye izinhlobo ze-scaffolding. Ngamanye amazwi,ukukhiya okukhiyiweyisisombululo esifanele samaphrojekthi ajwayelekile.
