Wall-mountable perch

A wall-mountable perch comprising:

• a frame comprising:
• a plurality of horizontal side members;
• a first cross member connected to each of the plurality of horizontal side members displaced from a respective distal end of each of the plurality of horizontal side members and from a respective proximal end of each of the plurality of horizontal side members;
• a second cross member connected proximate to the respective distal end of each of the plurality of horizontal side members;
• a platform support connected to the plurality of horizontal side members by a plurality of vertical frame members;
• and
• a plurality of frame posts each connected to and extending downward from a respective one of the plurality of horizontal side members, and each disposed toward the proximal ends of the plurality of horizontal side members relative to the first cross member;
• a platform connected to the platform support;
• a plurality of fence posts connected to, and extending vertically upward from, the frame;
• a plurality of adjustable-length support arms each having a proximal end connected to a respective proximal end of each of the plurality of horizontal side members, each of the plurality of adjustable-length support arms extending vertically upward from a respective one of the plurality of horizontal side members;
• a frame spacer comprising a plurality of elongated vertical spacer members and a plurality of elongated horizontal spacer members, wherein the plurality of elongated vertical spacer members are disposed further apart from each other than the plurality of adjustable-length support arms are displaced from each other;
• an upper wall brace coupled to each of the plurality of adjustable-length support arms;
• a plurality of tension arms each connected to a respective horizontal side member of the plurality of horizontal side members and each connected to the upper wall brace;
• and
• a lower wall brace laterally movably connected to the plurality of frame posts to move horizontally relative to the plurality of frame posts;
• wherein each of the plurality of adjustable-length support arms is configured to move the upper wall brace laterally toward distal ends of the plurality of horizontal side members, and into contact with the frame spacer to bias the plurality of elongated vertical spacer members and the plurality of elongated horizontal spacer members, due to tension provided by the plurality of tension arms as a length of each the plurality of adjustable-length support arms is increased.

A method of installing a wall-mountable perch comprises:

• passing a portion of a frame of the wall-mountable perch through an opening defined by a wall;
• disposing vertical arms and horizontal arms of a frame spacer between a cross member of the wall-mountable perch and the wall laterally outside of the opening;
• stabilizing the frame to the wall defining the opening by moving a first wall brace of the wall-mountable perch into lateral contact with a first side of the wall and moving a second wall brace of the wall-mountable perch laterally relative to a frame of the wall-mountable perch into contact with the vertical arms of the frame spacer to bias the frame spacer against a second side of the wall, opposite the first side of the wall;
• and
• forcing a cross member of the wall-mountable perch into contact with the vertical arms of the frame spacer to bias the vertical arms and the horizontal arms of the frame spacer against the wall by moving the cross member of the wall-mountable perch laterally with respect to the frame of the wall-mountable perch, such that the wall-mountable perch has at least three lateral points of contact with the wall, with at least a first one of the at least three lateral points of contact with the wall being with the first side of the wall and at least a second one of the at least three lateral points of contact with the wall being with the second side of the wall, each of the at least three lateral points of contact corresponding to a respective combination of vertical location and side of the wall.
