of the present invention will be described fig1 illustrates a perspective view of the scafcat system 100 in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention the system 100 couples on one of its ends to two pilings 102 and 103 of a portion of the dock 105 that has already been built using the system 100 the system 100 comprises two parallel side members 106 and 107 a plurality of lateral members 111 118 cables 123 and 124 and two removable scaffold boards 126 and 127 as with the conventional method for building a dock construction of a dock with the system 100 typically starts by establishing the center point of the proposed walkway at the edge of the shore next the center point of the walkway at the rivers edge is determined once the aforementioned two points are set a transit is installed at the shoreline an imaginary line that extends between these two center points is the centerline of the walkway unlike the traditional method however no batter boards are required for building a dock when using the system 100 the first two pilings not shown in the figures are placed equidistantly from the centerline of the walkway generally other than the system 100 nothing else is needed to install the next two pilings using the transit and a four foot level the second two pilings 102 and 103 are installed at equal distances from the centerline of the walkway these pilings 102 and 103 will be left to extend above the eventual plane of the floor joists next the benches 101 are installed using the transit to level them finally floor joists.
