ABSTRACT:
A modular areaway system is disclosed having independent side wall members and independent step facings. The modular system allows quick and easy construction of units without the use of extra tools. The independent sections are detachably connectable to one another to form the final single unit assemblage. The means for detachably connecting is integral in part to each independent section of the areaway system. Male and female connectors are disposed on each section to make assembly of each unit by most any person simple and easy, as no tools are necessary. The modular system allows for replacement of sections rather than requiring replacement of entire units. In the event that any individual section is damaged or worn replacement of that section is easily replaced with a new section by detaching the damaged or worn section and reattaching the new section in its place. The modular system allows for varied widths of the areaway system by replacing one size step facings--as the step facings dictate the width of each unit--with a smaller or larger sized step facing. The modular system allows for conservation of space during transportation and storage. Each of the sections may be nested together with similar sections (i.e., the side wall members together, and the step facings together) in a space much less than that required for storing and transporting complete, assembled units.
