1.7 Platforms can also be combined in any direction in multiples of 64-7/16” to create a deck. The initial
steps are similar to Sec. 1.5, using two platforms to create a turn-back. Refer to the project
drawings for the specific deck configuration.
1.7.1 On the first platform, install a dual platform connector on each of the two legs that will be
adjacent to the second platform. Make sure that the pocket of the connector is oriented to
the outside of the first platform in the direction of the second platform and that the setscrews
are facing in a direction where they will be accessible (FIG. 5). Note: Usually the uppermost
platforms will be used to create a deck but this may not always be the case. Since the first
platform is the one that sets the height for the rest, it is strongly recommended that the first
platform be located at a door or other fixed point where height is critical regardless of its
position in the deck.
1.7.1.1 If more than one platform is connected to the “first” platform, install a dual platform
connector on the remaining legs as needed. Planning will be required to make sure
not only that the connectors are oriented in the right direction, but also that the
subsequent platforms are supported by at least two legs as the deck is assembled
before installing the legs in the platform (Refer to Section 1.7.8 for other
requirements).
1.7.2 Install the legs and set the first platform at the required height as described in the previous
steps.
1.7.3 Bring all connectors up until they touch the bottoms of the corner pockets in the platform and
tighten the setscrews securely (FIG. 6).
1.7.4 On the second platform (and all subsequent platforms), install the two legs that will be
opposite the first (previous) platform and set to the same height as the first platform, then set
the two corner pockets of the second platform on top of the platform connectors in the first
platform (FIG. 6).
1.7.4.1 Same as the first platform, if more than one platform is connected to the “second”
platform, install a dual platform connector on additional legs as needed, bring the
connectors up until they touch the bottoms of the corner pockets and tighten all
setscrews securely. Planning will be required to make sure not only that the
connectors are oriented in the right direction but also that the subsequent platforms
are supported by at least two legs as the deck is assembled before installing the legs
in the platform (Refer to Section 1.7.8 for other requirements).
1.7.5 If the platform connector is in a location that will require a guard, filler section or corner post
(typically the outer edge of the deck), install the 1-1/2” square x 36” long tube provided
through the platform corner pocket and connector until it aligns with the bottom of the
connector and tighten all setscrews securely (FIG. 5). Note: Installation of platform guards
and other components is described elsewhere in the manual.
