Do you mean real construction site-type scaffolding? Or just a tower?

U bolts would be my first thought on how to attach the wood stand to scaffolding.

X3, U bolts to,wrap the frame. Just make sure u use heavy washers on both the top and bottom. I would recommend 3 to a side. The floor is really important so seal it well. On both sides!

2 hole clamps...like the ones you use to secure galvanized fence poles to wood panels. home depot sells them for like a dollar or 2 a piece

I'm not sure if two hole clamps would be strong enough to hole that 4x6 box in place. I'm leaning towards going with the U- bolts.

I have had a 6 foot hex blind sitting on 6 foot scaffolding held by 2 hole straps for 2 years with no issues and it gets pretty windy in eden

I will be down at the lease in a few weeks and I can get picks, but it spans the scaffolding with 3 4x4s so there are a total of 6 two hole straps holdin the 4x4s to the base and those have a lot of screws to the stand. I also have aircraft cable ran out to T-posts for anchoring due to the high winds.

I use 3 ea 4x4's to span the scaffolding then use galvanized strapping (like that used to hang A/c ducting) and deck screws. Screw the strapping to the wood, wrap around the scaffold then screw to the wood on the other side. Can cut to whatever length you need and it has lots of holes so mounting is easy. I've used this for years on 4x6 blinds and have never had one come loose (even rode out a couple of hurricanes in east Texas). It's cheap and easy to find too.
