A three dimensional scaffold formed of mesh, or semi-porous material is designed to be inserted into and to surround an opening in the exterior structure of a building to receive a fenestration product such as a door, a vent, a window and a skylight. The three dimensional scaffold is pre-formed into three-dimensional shapes that include corners, returns, back-dams, and optional head flaps that provide a scaffold and backing for the application of a fluid applied water/weather-proofing material. The separate fluid applied waterproofing/weatherproofing may be applied by spray, brush or roll and can be asphalt, rubber, plastic or other fluid applied material. The scaffolding may be formed out of mesh, or other semi-porous fiberglass, metal, plastic, synthetic or other material that can be formed into three dimensional shapes. When combined with a fluid applied weather/waterproofing, the scaffolding provides a superior, continuous, reinforced weather/water-proofing system to protect openings and fenestrations in buildings.

1. A three-dimensional scaffolding for use in weatherproofing/waterproofing of a fenestration opening of a structure, comprising: a flange;a return connected to the flange; anda back dam coupled to the return at an opposite side and end than the flange;the flange, return, and back dam being formed of a mesh or semi-porous material with sufficient rigidity to maintain a three-dimensional shape;the scaffolding being non water-proof prior to installation on a structure. 2. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive on an interior surface of at least one of the flange and the return, the interior surface corresponding to a surface that attaches to a surface of the fenestration opening or an exterior surface of the structure. 3. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, wherein: the return defines a first plane,the flange defines a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane. 4. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, wherein: the return defines a first plane,the flange defines a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane, andthe back-dam defines a third plane that is parallel and offset from the second plane. 5. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, the return comprising drainage ribs raised from an outer surface of the return. 6. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, further comprising a drip margin between the flange and the return. 7. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, the flange, the return, and the back dam forming a first scaffolding piece, the scaffolding being a scaffolding system further comprising an additional scaffolding piece including: a sill/head return, for attaching to a sill/head of the opening,a jamb return, for attaching to a jamb of the opening; andan additional flange coupled to both the sill/head return and the jamb return;the additional scaffolding piece (1) being formed of the mesh or semi-porous material, and (2) being non water-proof prior to installation on a structure. 8. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 7, the sill return comprising drainage ribs raised from an outer surface of the sill/head return. 9. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 7, wherein: the sill/head return and jamb return define respective first and second planes that are orthogonal to each other, andthe additional flange defines a third plane that is orthogonal to both the first and second planes. 10. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 7, further comprising: a sill/head back-dam connected to the sill/head return and formed of the mesh or semi-porous material, anda jamb back-dam connected to the jamb return and formed of the piece of mesh or semi-porous material. 11. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 10, the sill/head return comprising drainage ribs raised from an outer surface of the sill/head return. 12. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 10, wherein: the sill/head return and jamb return define respective first and second planes that are orthogonal to each other,the additional flange defines a third plane that is orthogonal to both the first and second planes, andthe sill back-dam and the jamb back-dam define a fourth plane that is parallel and offset from the third plane. 13. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 10, further comprising a drip margin between each of the sill/head return and the jamb return, and the additional flange. 14. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 1, further including a hinged flap connected to the flange at an edge of the flange opposite from the return. 15. The three-dimensional scaffolding system of claim 14, the hinged flap having a greater length than the flange. 16. A three-dimensional scaffolding for use in weatherproofing/waterproofing of a fenestration opening of a structure, consisting of: a flange;a return connected to the flange; anda back dam coupled to the return at an opposite side and end than the flange;the flange, return, and back dam being formed of a mesh or semi-porous material with sufficient rigidity to maintain a three-dimensional shape;the scaffolding being non water-proof prior to installation on a structure. 17. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 16, wherein: the return defines a first plane,the flange defines a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane. 18. The three-dimensional scaffolding of claim 16, wherein: the return defines a first plane, the flange defines a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane, and the back-dam defines a third plane that is parallel and offset from the second plane.
