[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 14763, member: 46"] Re: DIY mini-stage/riser/platform Those leg-a-matic's that you point out look pretty reasonable, and I'd expect you could DIY yourself something easily as durable and safe as some of the commercial quick assembly stages. The main area where you won't be able to compete is weight. A good solid 4x4 or 4x8 deck will need to be reinforced to ensure it minimizes flex and resonation etc. The weight adds up quick. I'd build a prototype before committing to a design to make sure you end up with something you're going to be happy to haul around long term. Make sure to use a non-slip surface paint or something similar. Carpet will drive you nuts. Marlow, having known you for a while I know you'll make sure it's safe. So just find the option that is going to make things most convenient for you. Stages are a nuisance at the best of times. Sorry if that's not a particularly helpful post. Hopefully some others will continue to chip in with additional ideas. [/QUOTE]
