I'm about to build a sturdy 7x10 shed. Planning to build it with suspended floor rather than concrete (for practical reasons and cost) and basing structure on 2x4 and 2x3 quality joist timber with 9 or 12mm external ply walls. Although this sounds expensive purpose built sheds are often weak, not durable and likely require a concrete base. It struck me that scaffolding poles would have strength, durabilty and possibly overall time advantages over a wood framework. A quick google tell me that inc delivery 12 10ft scaffolding poles  £187 and 12 2x4" 3m regularized, preserved timber £77 (not looked at cheaper/second hand materials or costed joining accessories). Choosing 12 of each just for discussion because that would be the basis of a stable cube. Obviously a lot of extra timber would be required in either case. Major practical difficulties might be in joining square edged timber wall etc to the round scaffolding poles and to conceal them ( Mrs oldie wouldn't accept sticky out bits at scaffolding joints). Any thoughts, please? I emphasize I wouldn't make a large, complex structure as the thought of being caught in collapsing scaffolding doesn't appeal.

Look at tube clamps they are what you need. Also see tech screws you will need nut drive heavy to attach. The timber to the tubes remember to over clad the corners to protect ends what final finish are you going to use ply won’t last unless it’s marine and then it expensive

I wouldn't go down the scaffolding route, we have a shed built from 18mm ply that was scrapped from my dad's work 40 years ago. The framework is 2x2 round the sides, roof 4x2 then OSB, floor 4x2 the packing crate boards. It has needed a new floor and refelting a few times but nothing wrong with the sides. I don't think 18mm ply is that much more than 12, it's so strong there is no point building a 4x2 frame.

If going suspended floor, you will need bigger than 2x4’s bud, how will you lift it clear of the floor?

Put a row of slabs down the middle too, reduce the span.
