1. A scaffolding system, comprising:
a plurality of leg assemblies, each leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies including a top end surface and a bottom end surface, wherein each leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies defines a plurality of through-holes disposed in a top end portion, wherein each leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies defines a plurality of elongated through-holes disposed in a top end portion, wherein each of the plurality of elongated through-holes is shaped to include a first circle overlapping a second circle, wherein the first circle is larger than the second circle, wherein each leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies includes a head plate disposed on the top end surface of the leg assembly, each leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies further including at least one bracket, wherein each bracket includes:
a front face, wherein the front face defines a first bracket through-hole configured to overlap a first through-hole of the plurality of through-holes of the leg assembly, wherein the front face defines an elongated bracket through-hole configured to overlap a first elongated through-hole of the plurality of elongated through-holes of the leg assembly,
a first side face defining a second bracket through-hole configured to overlap a second through-hole of the plurality of through-holes of the leg assembly, wherein the first side face further defines a first cutout configured to at least partially profile a second elongated through-hole of the plurality of elongated through-holes of the leg assembly, and
a second side face defining a third bracket through-hole configured to overlap a third through-hole of the plurality of through-holes of the leg assembly, wherein the second side face further defines a second cutout configured to at least partially profile a third elongated through-hole of the plurality of elongated through-holes of the leg assembly,
wherein, when mirrored, the first cutout and the second cutout respectively form an approximately complete outline of the second elongated through-hole of the leg assembly and the third elongated through-hole of the leg assembly;
a plurality of arch assemblies, each arch assembly of the plurality of arch assemblies comprising a top chord, a bottom chord, and a plurality of vertical members, wherein:
the top chord includes a first end and a second end,
the bottom chord includes a first end and a second end,
each vertical member of the plurality of vertical members includes a top end and a bottom end,
wherein the top chord connects to the top end of each vertical member of the plurality of vertical members and the bottom chord connects to the bottom end of each vertical member of the plurality of vertical members such that the first end of the top chord and the first end of the bottom chord are vertically aligned and the second end of the top chord and second end of the bottom chord are vertically aligned,
wherein at least one of the first end of the top chord or the first end of the bottom chord is configured to connect to a first leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies via a through-hole of the at least one plurality of through-holes of the first leg assembly,
wherein at least one of the second end of the top chord or the second end of the bottom chord is configured to connect to a second leg assembly of the plurality of leg assemblies via a through-hole of the at least one plurality of through-holes of the second leg assembly; and
a deck, wherein the plurality of leg assemblies is configured to support a plurality of the deck on the head plate of each of the plurality of leg assemblies, and wherein the deck extends past the plurality of leg assemblies in all directions.
