1. A modular flooring platform comprising:
a plurality of elongate interior frame members, the interior frame members having a length and comprising a substantially hollow tubular body portion defining a hollow interior, the interior frame members each including a pair of lateral ledge elements defining substantially flat fins projecting away from opposing sides of the hollow tubular body portion at a common, defined elevation; a plurality of elongate perimeter frame members, the perimeter frame members having a length and comprising a substantially hollow tubular body portion defining a hollow interior, the perimeter frame members each including an inboard lateral edge element defining a substantially flat fin projecting away from a first side of the hollow tubular body and an outboard lateral ledge element projecting away from a second side of the hollow tubular body, the outboard lateral ledge defining a raised lip spaced apart from the hollow tubular body portion of the perimeter frame member; a plurality of angle-forming connection elements, each angle-forming connection element comprising a plurality of hollow tubular legs projecting away from an intersection, such that at least two of the hollow tubular legs are in angled relation to one another, wherein the hollow tubular legs are adapted to slide in telescoping relation into the hollow tubular body portions of the interior frame members and the perimeter frame members, the interior frame members, perimeter frame members and angle-forming connection elements being connectable to form a grid frame having a perimeter channel formed by the outboard lateral ledge elements and a plurality of interstices at least partially surrounded by interior frame members at locations inboard from the perimeter channel; and a plurality of removable floor panels adapted to fit in nested relation within the interstices to define a supporting flooring surface. |
