A double-shelled load-bearing structure module of any geometric shape, is formed from top and bottom secondary shell elements. A double-shelled load-bearing structure in the form of a primary shell structure is joined with the module, made of individual assembled load-bearing structure modules of this kind having statically necessary filling rods. The secondary shell elements have, in each corner, a connection pocket, which is open at the top or bottom or is open at the top and bottom, of appropriate size for connecting a plurality of load-bearing structure modules. The connection pocket, at least on the outside, on the outer vertical surfaces of the secondary shell elements, is delimited by preferably metal profiles or metal sheet. Connection tabs can also be disposed in each corner instead of connection pockets. The connection tabs are formed from angular surfaces, preferably metal sheet, protruding towards the intermediate space between the secondary shell elements.

A deck apparatus for assembly with a pair of opposing brace frames interconnected by a pair opposing connector bases and a deck board top frame having a plurality of deck boards disposed thereon, the connector bases having opposing posts for being received in openings in a lower end of the opposing brace frames ends and the deck board top frame having posts for being received in an upper end of the opposing brace frames, and optionally attaching a stairs riser having a plurality of spaced-apart treads or a ramp riser for extending from a deck surface at a height to a vertically lower support surface.

An arena apparatus for staging a sport with at least one athlete is provided. The arena apparatus includes a floor having a perimeter; and at least one wall at the perimeter and extending upwardly and outwardly from the floor at an angle greater than or equal to fifteen degrees measured from an axis perpendicular to the floor, wherein the angle of the wall prevents the athlete from standing on the wall.

A new and improved building panel for modular construction. The building panel utilises less framework for reduced complexity, materials and weight. The panel utilises features of the formwork to allow the panel to be moved easily. The panel further utilises new formwork moulds that are easier to use and create effective patterns for keying with like panels.

The innovation relates to a pool covering system that is usable as a flooring surface. The pool covering system includes brackets and support beams spanning the pool opening. The beams provide structural support to cross members and flooring placed on top of the beams. The pool covering system does not require significant drainage of the pool and does not damage the pool structure during installation and use.

An elevated flooring system is operable to support a flooring panel. The elevated flooring system includes a beam configured to support the flooring panel. Aspects of the flooring system also include a saddle with a base surface and a prong. The beam is engaged with and vertically supported by the base surface of the saddle. The beam is configured to support the flooring panel and defines an aperture configured to receive the prong. Aspects of the beam includes a tent attachment assembly and a beam wall defining an aperture and opposite wall surfaces. The tent attachment assembly is configured for attachment to the tent and includes a base, a boss plate, and a threaded fastener. The fastener extends at least partly through the apertures of the base, boss plate and beam wall and is threaded into the boss plate.

A balcony (10) for attachment to a building wall to provide privacy and views, and comfortable outdoor living space for apartment dwellers. The balcony has a floor (16) having a first edge (18) for abutment to the building wall, a perimeter wall (14) having a first end (22) and a second end (24), the first end and the second end being spaced apart and adjacent to the floor first edge (18). The floor extends between the perimeter wall and the floor first edge. The perimeter wall has a top edge (26) that is higher at the first end (22) than at the second end (24). Connectors (36, 38) are provided proximate to the floor first edge and proximate to the perimeter wall upper edge for attaching the balcony to the building wall.
