Count scaffolding tubes in a bundle from a photo
Photograph the cut ends of the bundle straight-on so the visible scaffolding tubes cross-sections are clear — the AI marks its counted detections for review. Built for builders, site managers and building-material suppliers — review and correct each photo before adding it to a CSV or PDF tally.
- Review the photo, then count visible scaffolding tubes
- Mark an example of each different-looking kind — up to three — before you count
- Stop counting the same scaffolding tubes twice to be sure of the total

Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the scaffolding tubes fully in frame
• Check that each marked example boxes a whole scaffolding tubes rather than a repeated part
• Dots and heatmap show retained detections — review and correct the tally
About the Scaffolding Tubes Counter
The scaffolding tubes counter works from the 1–3 example scaffolding tubes you mark — one per different-looking kind — filters low-confidence repeat candidates, and marks retained results for review. Distinct objects mode boxes each separated item without needing examples. Visibility and overlap still affect the total. Built for builders, site managers and building-material suppliers.
How It Works
1. Photograph your scaffolding tubes
2. Mark an example scaffolding tubes for each different-looking kind — up to three — then choose Count
3. Review the dots, heatmap and your marked examples; correct the tally as needed
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Checking tube counts on and off hire before invoices are raised
• Confirming what came back from a site against what went out
• Yard inventories of tube stock between contracts
• Documenting quantities for a hire dispute
Frequently asked questions
- How should I photograph a bundle for counting?
- Shoot the ends straight-on, close enough that each end is at least a few pixels across, with even light and no strong shadows inside the bundle. Use the dots to review each retained detection, then correct misses or duplicates before using the total.
- What if the photo has more than just scaffolding tubes in it?
- Your marked examples tell the counter exactly what to count. Drag a tight box around one complete, clearly visible scaffolding tubes — up to 3 examples for different-looking kinds — and only matching items are counted. Similar-looking distractors can still affect the result, so review every marker before using the total.
- Can I count several photos into one total?
- Yes — count each photo with its own marked examples, and add every result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. A marked example belongs to the photo it was drawn on, so mark each photo as you go. Export the tally as CSV or a PDF report, or save it to your account.
- Is it free and private?
- Yes. You can count, review and download a free result without an account. Downloads are free without a watermark. No signup required. Server-processed photos are encrypted in transit and removed under our Security policy.
