Benefits of technology
[0004]Briefly stated, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a portable deck that includes a plurality of legs that have a slot on each side face. An adjustable foot is removably attached to each leg to account for uneven ground surfaces on which the portable deck may be place. At least two braces and at least two rails are generally disposed between the plurality of legs to form a generally rectangular frame. The rails and braces are removably disposed in the slots of the legs. A plurality of planks are removably mounted to and supported by the rails to form a top surface of the portable deck. The portable deck provides a firm, level surface on which to place outdoor accessories.
Problems solved by technology
If the ground is not level or is slightly infirm (soggy from recent rainfall, for instance), the use of such outdoor accessories is difficult, if not impossible.
Also, it is desirable for such a surface to be compactly stored, as space within an RV is typically relatively limited.
