ABSTRACT:
A deck assembly. The deck assembly may have at least one nonmovable horizontally-oriented unit and at least one movable unit that pivotally attached to a nonmovable unit. The movable unit can be pivoted between a first position wherein it is substantially co-planar with the nonmovable unit to which it is attached to form a substantially planar deck surface. The movable unit may also be selectively pivoted to at least one position wherein it is not co-planar with the nonmovable unit to form an upstanding fence or barrier. Each movable unit may be fitted with a support brace for supporting the nonmovable unit in the non-coplanar position. The deck units may also be equipped with shock absorbers for controlling the pivotal travel of the movable deck units to a predetermined rate. In addition, the deck units may also be pivoted and retained in any non-coplanar position by fluid actuated air cylinders attached between the nonmovable units and the movable units.
