Abstract

The present invention is a modular deck system with height adjustable leg assemblies. The deck modules each have a top panel, a support frame, and a leg receptacle. The leg assemblies include a base foot, an adjustment bolt and a leg bracket with four legs extending perpendicularly from a bracket plate. A height adjustment bolt is fixed to the base of the leg assembly and extends perpendicularly from the base through an aperture in the bracket plate. The deck modules are placed adjacent to each other, side-by-side and end-to-end in the desired layout, then secured with the leg assemblies. Leveling of the deck modules is achieved through rotation of the adjustment bolts.

Claims

1. A modular deck system, comprising:

a plurality of deck modules, each said deck module having a top panel, a support frame, and a leg receptacle having a sleeve aperture; and

a plurality of leg assemblies, each said leg assembly having a base, a bolt, and a leg bracket;

wherein each said leg bracket has four legs extending perpendicularly from a bracket plate of said leg bracket.

2. The modular deck system of claim 1, wherein at least one leg of each leg bracket is received in a leg receptacle of a deck module through the sleeve aperture.

3. The modular deck system of claim 1, wherein said support frame is rectangular and comprises a top edge, a bottom edge, and four corners, and wherein each leg receptacle is adjacent to the bottom edge and proximal to a corner.

4. The modular deck system of claim 1, wherein the bracket plate further comprises an outer edge and a central aperture.

5. The modular deck system of claim 3, wherein said leg bracket comprises four legs uniformly spaced and proximal to the outer edge of said bracket plate.

6. The modular deck system of claim 3, wherein the bolt extends perpendicularly from said base through the central aperture of said bracket plate.

7. The modular deck system of claim 5, wherein said bolt is threaded through said aperture to permit vertical height adjustment of the leg bracket over the base of said leg assembly.
