Bolting the Pieces of the Stage Together: Construction Tips

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Grady Johnson and I'm the producer of Strange Company and today I'm representing expertvillage.com. Okay we have legged these platforms. They are all raised up a foot and separately they are great. You notice on the inside here we didn't use any washers on these inside bolts because we are actually going to put these two pieces together. I even tighten this up a little bit so it would sink in some. You could sink this all the way but one I wouldn't worry about it to much. So what I'm going to do is put these together and then I'm going to pop a hole inside in between these section and that section we lag it together and then we have one complete until. So lets go ahead and put them together. Once you got them up squared up as good as you can go back and forth over a couple of times to be sure what you are doing. Once it looks good to you then you want to go ahead and pop in pop in that lag screw. So we are going to want to do this about half way down the first section. So you are going to go ahead and put this here about center way and make sure that it goes all the way in. again make sure that you back that in and out so it comes through. You see that it is not going to be not it is not going to be as easy as the other one it is going to have a little bit it is going to be kind of tight. We are going to pull that together with our socket and then you want to go ahead and grab that with your crescent wrench. Once you got with your crescent wrench go ahead and tighten that down. You will fill that coming together. Now when you are doing this you will see that this boards would start coming together go ahead and tighten those all the way in until you come completely together. Now if some start to split stop but you want to get that as tight as you can. Okay that is good so far. Not to tight just enough to spring it up now we are going to do the same thing down the other end. Now that is solid as a rock that is going to hold together no matter what you put on it.
