[SML] Platforming to go on the road

[jdunfee12 at yahoo.com]

Can the scrim be made small enough to permit appropriate diagonal support at it its edge?  If not, perhaps wire can be used to form X-bracing.  As long as the horizontal beams are strong enough, wire bracing can be even preferred for all the sides, because they are fairly light weight.
Perhaps the diagonals behind the scrim are located 3' behind the scrim, to allow a very shallow acting space, but provide the protection against shear forces 

And to make it clear for those who may not be familiar with engineering terms; "Shear" refers to side loads.  "Sheer" is the term used to describe fabrics that can be seen through... like a scrim.
