Abstract
A type of deck for use in a scaffold assembly, wherein the frame for the deck has at least two hooks at each end for hooking on to a bar section of the scaffold. The top of the deck extends over one end of the frame and over the hooks at that end when decks are placed side by side, hooked on to the same bar, this top section on one deck prevents the adjacent deck from flying off the bar.
