The scaffold assembly comprises a generally vertical, cylindrical leg 2 incorporating a series of parallel longitudinal channels 3 spaced equi-angularly around the exterior of the leg; a generally lateral elongate frame member ( 6a, Fig 1) having a male locking member (12, Fig 4a) configured for retention within one of said channels to secure the frame member to the cylindrical leg; and a spacer element 17 positioned in between the frame member and cylindrical leg and incorporating a corresponding longitudinal channel 23 corresponding to the longitudinal channels 3 on the leg 2; wherein the spacer element is retained by one of the longitudinal channels on the leg so as to secure the spacer element to the leg such that the corresponding longitudinal channel on the spacer element is spaced outwardly of, and in radial alignment with, one of the longitudinal channels on the leg, the male engaging element (12, Fig 4a) being retained within the corresponding longitudinal channel on the spacer element to secure the frame member to the spacer element, thereby indirectly coupling the lateral frame member to the cylindrical leg with the spacer element therebetween. Preferably, the spacer element comprises an arcuate collar portion 18 engaged with the cylindrical exterior of the leg. Also defined is a spacer element for use with a scaffold assembly, preferably comprising an arcuate collar portion 18 for engaging a cylindrical leg. The scaffolding assembly may be incorporated into a shoring assembly. |
