Step 5Platform
The platform is made of two 3/4" plywood boards -- aka old hurricane shutters :P
The platform has 4 feet on each corner and a 5th center foot that bolts on to both board at the centerline. The 5 feet will not provide much support though.
To get additional support -- the rails are attached to the platform and to the adjacent rails. When all of the rails are attached -- the platform is VERY stable.
The rails were attached using steel L brackets and screws.

Do the rails overhang the platform? I don't see any drill marks along the outside of the rails, and the 3/4" plywood isn't visible; how are they attached to the adjacent rails? Are they bracketed in the corners, as well as along the sides? And if it overhangs the platform, how much, and is it bracketed underneath also?
