Our theater group does not have a stock of platforms so based on research here we have started building triscuits. So far we've only used them once for a small 4x8 platform. We used 3 stud walls which seems way overkill but was extremely sturdy.
My question is around the proper fastening to the stud wall. The triscuits are supposed to have a bolt hole at each corner. In our use however we found our studs were directly under these holes, especially at the outside corners. We wound up drilling another hole in the triscuits set back a few inches to bolt the triscuit to the wall. This seemed wrong based on the triscuit design. Is there something obvious we should do differently building our stud walls? What am I missing?
