Shortly I may be asked to build a semi/permanent theatrical stage inside a church. This particular construction has some unique problems/challenges.
- The building is "heritage listed" which means whatever we do has to 'touch lightly' on the building structure.
- The floor is polished hardwood.
- The stage must not creak
- It is essentially a platform 900 (3ft ) high, 5.8m (19ft) wide by 4.2m (13 ft) long
- It will be attached on the long side to an existing stage/alcove
- Set construction crews being what they are, it may be necessary to replace the (ply?) flooring on the top of the stage every five or six years.
I was thinking about laying down a ply floor on top of the original floor, but not fastened to it, with felt underlay between.then ataching the posts with triple grips to the ply. - I don't know if "triple grips" is a universal term but this is something like what I mean
