         5 . The support rail according to  claim 1 , wherein the second connecting means comprise a double bracket for reception of a first and a second panel, wherein preferably the double bracket comprises two parallel arranged bracket arms each having a link-like recess or guide for reception of a bearing bolt connected to a panel. 
     
     
         6 . The support rail according to  claim 5 , wherein a wedge with a recess is hinged to each of the bracket arms, so that the wedge is pivotable and/or displaceable relative to the bracket arm, wherein preferably the bracket arms have slot-like recesses or abutment elements for guiding the wedges. 
     
     
         7 . The support rail according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second connecting means have screws and/or threaded plates for connection to the support rail. 
     
     
         8 . The support rail according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one piping rail extending in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the front side, which rail is preferably open to the side, and/or at least one longitudinal groove extending in the longitudinal direction is formed on the front side, which groove is preferably undercut. 
     
     
         9 . A cladding system for enclosing scaffolds, comprising a support rail according to  claim 1  and at least one panel and/or a keder tarpaulin. 
     
     
         10 . The cladding system according to  claim 9 , wherein the panel has a front side and a rear side, wherein the rear side faces the scaffold in the final installation position of the panel and wherein at least one, preferably stiffening, profile is arranged on the rear side, which profile carries at least one bearing bolt projecting laterally beyond the panel. 
     
     
         11 . The cladding system according to  claim 10 , wherein the bearing bolt is designed as a simple rod with a preferably circular cross-section. 
     
     
         12 . The cladding system according to  claim 10 , wherein the bearing bolt has an end stop with a stop surface facing the panel and/or a projection pointing in the direction of the support rail in the final installation position. 
     
     
         13 . The cladding system according to  claim 9 , wherein the system has at least one bearing bolt, which is designed as a separate component and, for connection to a panel or another element, for example a door element, has an angle with preferably two legs at its end facing the panel or the element. 
     
     
         14 . The cladding system according to  claim 9 , wherein the panel has at least one longitudinal edge provided with a stepped fold and/or a rounded longitudinal edge, preferably for connection to a sealing profile. 
     
     
         15 . The cladding system according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one panel of a plurality of panels is divided into at least two parts and the parts are connected via a joint. 
     
     
         16 . The cladding system according to  claim 9 , wherein the system has a connector plate for forming a lower end, wherein preferably the connector plate has on the rear side a connector element with a recess for the reception of connecting means of a scaffolding component, in particular a bracket or a horizontal ledger. 
     
     
         17 . A scaffold with a cladding system according to  claim 9  and a bracket for connecting the cladding system to the scaffold. 
     
     
         18 . The scaffold according to  claim 17 , wherein the bracket is formed from a tubular piece of rectangular cross-section, which has at one end a head plate for connection to the support rail and at the other end connecting means for connection to a vertical post or to a rosette-like connector element connected to the vertical post. 
     
     
         19 . A method for enclosing a scaffold using a cladding system according to  claim 9 , comprising the steps of:
 mounting the support rail, wherein the first connecting means are placed on a bracket of the scaffold so that the first connecting means engage behind a head plate of the bracket,   mounting the panel, wherein a bearing bolt connected to the panel is inserted into a link-like recess or guide of a bracket arm of the second connecting means and is displaced from a parking position into an end position which corresponds to the final installation position of the panel, and   securing the end position of the bearing bolt with the aid of a wedge which is articulated on the bracket arm and/or displaceable relative to the bracket arm and which is pivoted and/or displaced relative to the bracket arm, wherein preferably the wedge is guided over a slot-like recess of the bracket arm.
