ABSTRACT:
A raised, generally rectangular, modular flooring system for livestock comprised of a deck formed from a plurality of substantially equally spaced circular deck bars pairs (18) extending in one direction and permanently crimped or welded to an underlying plurality of circular tie rods (12) substantially equally spaced and extending perpendicular to the deck bar pairs (18). Each of the tie rods (12) is press fused welded to depth approximating the tie rod's (12) diameter into the upper surface of a plurality of equally spaced cross bar supports (14) at right angles to the cross bar supports (14). Each cross bar support (14) is, in turn, welded at either end to an end support bar (8) which is parallel to the tie rods (12) and perpendicular to the cross bar supports (14). The assembly is encapsulated in a heavy plastic coating (20). The encapsulation of the deck bar pairs (18) has a generally cam shaped cross section (19), which shape facilitates the run off of animal wastes.
