Abstract
A modular floor platform includes a floor made of a plurality of individual composite floor panels interconnected by tongue and groove joints. The individual composite floor panels have a foam core and a rigid cover over the foam core. A frame attaches the floor panels together along a perimeter of the floor. Legs beneath the frame and upwardly support the floor.
Claims20
A modular floor platform comprising:
- a floor made of a plurality of individual composite floor panels interconnected by tongue and groove joints, the individual composite floor panels being made of a floor panel material having a foam core and a rigid cover over the foam core, at least one of the individual composite floor panels along a perimeter of the floor including a hole formed therein adjacent the perimeter of the floor, the perimeter of the floor being an outer boundary of the floor;
- a frame attaching the floor panels together along the perimeter of the floor, the frame extending around the perimeter of the floor, the frame including a floor panel attachment mechanism that extends into the hole;
- and
- legs beneath the frame and upwardly supporting the floor along the perimeter of the floor;
- a wall structure made of the floor panel material upwardly extending from the floor;
- a roof structure made of the floor panel material forming a roof over the floor and wall structure;
- and
- an attachment line connecting the roof structure to the floor, the attachment line being under adjustable tension to improve structural integrity of a building formed from the floor, wall structure, and roof structure.

A modular floor platform comprising:
- a plurality of individual composite floor panels, each floor panel being made of a floor panel material having (a) a foam core positioned between a planar upper surface and a planar lower surface of a rigid cover over the foam core and (b) a peripheral edge defining a tongue and groove joint member;
- the tongue and groove joint members of adjacent floor panels being mated together forming a flat floor;
- at least one of the individual composite floor panels along a perimeter of the floor including a hole formed therein adjacent the perimeter of the floor, the perimeter of the floor being an outer boundary of the floor;
- a frame attaching the floor panels together along the perimeter of the flat floor in such a way that the frame suspends the floor panels from an upper section of the frame, the frame including a floor panel attachment mechanism that extends into the hole;
- legs beneath the frame and upwardly supporting the floor along the perimeter of the flat floor;
- a wall structure made of the floor panel material upwardly extending from the floor;
- a roof structure made of the floor panel material forming a roof over the floor and wall structure, the roof structure including a mounting bracket located at roof structure perimeter;
- and
- an attachment line connecting the mounting bracket to the floor, the attachment line being under adjustable tension to improve structural integrity of a building formed from the floor, wall structure, and roof structure.

A method of constructing a floor platform, the method comprising:
- arranging a plurality of legs on terrain in a pre-determined grid pattern;
- forming a floor upwardly supported on the legs by interconnecting tongue and groove joints of a plurality of individual composite floor panels made of floor panel material and positioning respective tongue and groove joints against respective legs, at least one of the individual composite floor panels along a perimeter of the floor including a hole formed therein adjacent the perimeter of the floor, the perimeter of the floor being an outer boundary of the floor;
- attaching the floor panels together along the perimeter of the floor with a frame that extends around the perimeter of the floor and includes a floor panel attachment mechanism;
- inserting the floor panel attachment mechanism into the hole;
- creating a wall structure made of the floor panel material so that the wall structure upwardly extends from the floor;
- placing a roof structure made of the floor panel material to form a roof over the floor and wall structure, the roof structure including a mounting bracket located at a roof structure perimeter;
- and
- increasing tension on an attachment line connecting the mounting bracket to the floor to improve structural integrity of a building formed from the floor, wall structure, and roof structure.
