I am a high school student, and this is my first year working in my school’s scene shop. I have a good understanding of framing and rough carpentry from work experience, but I am not sure about something that I want to pursue. I am currently designing the set for our next fall play, and I need to make two platforms, 8’ high. I was thinking that I could do two 4’x8’ stock platforms, and I could use 1x3 or 2x4’s to leg it 8’ high.
Is it recommended to leg these platforms this high? I’m not sure of any other ways to leg platforms that high while maintaining sturdiness and stability, so if I could have some pointers I’d greatly appreciate it.
