A subfloor system and methods of construction thereof

Abstract

The invention describes a subfloor or a split subfloor system for use in the construction of a portable deck. The proposed subfloor system can be installed without any special skill set or tools. The subfloor comprises of several footings that are arranged on the ground, at least two pre-notched beams that are placed on the footings, at least two pre-notched joists that rest perpendicularly on the pre-notched beams, at least two frame units that rest perpendicularly on the pre-notched beams in a direction parallel to the pre-notched joists, and at least one rim joist secured to each end of the pre-notched joists and the frame units. These components of the subfloor system could also be split in two or more pieces for a split subfloor system that makes transportation easier. A kit comprising the components of the subfloor system and a method of construction is also provided. 20 25 20 22 49 28 M ar 2 02 5 A B S T R A C T 2 8 M a r 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 2 4 9 A B S T R A C T 2 8 M a r 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 2 4 9 F ig u re 7 c on t'd (5 ) (6 ) 3 0 0 A 40 / 46 20 25 20 22 49 28 M ar 2 02 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 2 4 9 2 8 M a r 2 0 2 5 3 0 0 A 4 0 / 4 6 ( 5 ) F i g u r e 7 c o n t ' d 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 2 4 9 2 8 M a r 2 0 2 5 3 0 0 A 4 0 / 4 6 ( 5 ) F i g u r e 7 c o n t ' d
