Abstract

This invention is intended for use in outdoor activities where a firm, continuous, strong, and maintenance free walking surface that overcomes obstacles such as wetness, mud, rocks, and uneven terrains with simple-to-expand, light-weight, and easily transported attributes is desired.

Claims

1. A foot/leg assembly which provides a range of adjustment that overcomes common outdoor terrain found in areas of natural erosion often encountered in campgrounds, backyards or garden settings. This range of adjustment provides an escape from runoff and promotes an easier, even walking surface over topographic dips, cracks, rocks, and mounds.

2. The adjustable foot/leg assembly is a sturdy, no-tool required, connection between multiple decking sections.

3. Ease of deck expansion is limited only by the area in which the deck is placed and can be easily and quickly accomplished without the required use of special tools or excessive strength.

4. Multiple placement options of deck sections allow for final deck design to be created according to personal preference and/or event/venue needs.

5. The overall portability of the decking unit itself allows for minimal space requirements in travel vehicles as well as overall weight considerations that can be easily customized according to the individual travelers'"'"' preferences and/or needs.

6. Because of low ground clearance, accessibility by wheel-chair, walker, or other encumbered individuals can be achieved without the need of ramps or stairs.

7. The deck is robust, heat resistant, and maintenance free.

8. The open mesh design reduces the amount of mud, dust, grass, and other debris carried inside the living space as well as providing quick and easy visibility of any objects underneath deck.
