[QUOTE="Steve Hurt, post: 32481, member: 311"] Re: DIY mini-stage/riser/platform Local place has platforms that are 3 - 2x4-8's running the long way 2 - 2x4-4' one on each of the short ends 2 - 2x4-2' across the middle splitting the long span in half (staggered just enough to nail into the ends of the 2x4-2's) They use 6 brackets per deck bolted on w/ 3/8" carriage bolts/washers/nylon lock nuts. 1 bracket at each corner and 1 at the halfway point on each long side Brackets are designed roughly like my drawing. 3 pcs of steel probably 3/16" or 1/4 inch thick. Guessing on size here 1 pc 3-1/2" x 5" (short side) 1 pc 3-1/2" x 8" (long side 1 pc 5" x 8" (top) and a piece of 2" pipe 3-1/2" long Hole drilled in the pipe and then a 3/8" nut welded over the hole brackets are welded up locally. 1-1/2 Pipe sections slide into the pipe. (He keeps several lengths in stock) Bolt goes in the welded nut and secure the leg pipes. They rent for about $1/ft you pick up or $2 ft if they deliver/setup/tear down Building would be easy. Get a high school welding class to make a mess of brackets. Cut some boards, pound some nails, drill some holes, and bolt on the brackets. 10 platforms in a day easy. Done What stops me from building them is: set up/deliver/tear down/storage [/QUOTE]
