Question for platform builders

[jerp]

I built a platform for my pop-up that is 8' x 6.5'. My original plan was to keep it short - just 24" high - so I was going to use 4x4s to make straight legs. Now I'm thinking I may want it a bit higher. The question is, how high do you think I can make it before I would need to buy elevators and angle the legs for stability?

Built this one at 5' the other day and it is not wobbly at all.

Looks solid - how big is your platform?

good looking plat

I don't have any pictures but mine are built at 8'. With some cross bracing they are very stable

Built one with 5' 4x4 legs with no problems.. This platform was an 8'x8' and I braced the legs like the pic above.

X brace your legs. Skirting it like above will not prevent it from racking. It's only 1 more piece per side. 6-8' is as tall as I would venture til you start talking about concrete.
