Abstract: A scaffold system has a plurality of vertical members and a plurality of cross members connected by couplings. The vertical members and cross members are formed of polymeric matrix reinforced with glass and polymeric fibres. Each coupling includes a pair of annular flanges, positioned on the vertical members in a spaced apart relation to form a groove. Each flange is formed with a least one aperture to accept a lock pin which extends across the groove. In use, the lock pin locks an adapted end of a cross member in the groove by extending through the apertures of the flanges and an aperture in the adapted end of the cross member.
