Stage Decking

Info

The stage decking is used in a few events throughout the year, mostly during Festival of Christmas. Setup requires at least two people, usually more. The custom stage decking for Festival is stored in the barn, with the default sizes of 4, 6, and 8 feet being kept backstage.

Setup

Based on the stage plot, get the correct number of each deck size and place them upside-down on the stage. Usually, if there is more than one level, the front legs will sit on the first level, requiring vertical leg-to-leg locks. Next, get the required amount of legs of each size and put them in place, making sure that the cam locks on the ends are aligned with the right ends. Then flip each deck over and use a hex key to turn the cam locks until they click. Continue with higher levels, using vertical leg-to-leg locks in strategic spots, like the ends. For any level higher than one, handrails and/or chair rails will need to be attached to the back and sides.

Strike

Start by removing any hand or chair rails and removing all leg-to-leg locks. Then, starting at the top level, loosen the cam locks and flip the decks over to remove the legs, repeat until done. Replace all decks on the carts and leg-to-leg locks in bins.
