Stage Floor Front Edge Detail

Stage floors are usually wood on a sleeper assembly. This detail shows the stage floor with a concrete substructure descending into an orchestra pit. In more elaborate theatrical settings, there is often accessible space below the stage.  
Placing the stage floor over sleepers provides for some spring in the floor. A 'sprung' floor is desirable for dance and theatrical presentations as well as other types. 
The key features of the detail are the:

• construction of the stage floor including sleepers
• anchorage of the floor at the edge
• edge configuration and construction
• safety lighting recess to denote the edge in darkness
• acoustical panels in the orchestra pit (which are optional)
