I wanted to see if anyone else is doing this.
Anytime we build a platform (generally steel framing) larger than standard sheet sizes, 5' wide for example, we'll make the deck out of a 4' piece and a 1' piece, and scab them together on the underside with 3/4" ply, 8" wide by whatever the length needs to be. we glue and staple it together. They hold up great even with dancers jumping around. I had never seen this practice and in the other shops I've worked in we would usually adjust the framing so there is a seam catch.
Anyone else do this?
