The scaffold game comes with its own set of complex vocabulary:
• The main structural parts are called scaffold tubes/pipes.
• Tubes connect together into steel couplers.

• Horizontal members are the ledgers.
• The horizontal poles that run towards the structure (perpendicular to ledgers) are transoms.
