I started with the measurements @fbwguy used to build his platform for the primal steps using 3/4 inch plywood. I am using wild edge steps.. My board/platform points almost straight up. The only way I was able to make it lay semi flat was to shorten it some and bevel the edge of the plywood. Are the wild edge stand off at a different angle than the primal? What am I missing?

DIY wild edge board platform help

Yeah the crossbar in the primal is lower than WE therefor letting the board lay flatter. I think some used 5/8 plywood for a slighter flatter platform on WE steps
And that's why I love this forum. It took me half the time to get an answer here than it did for my poor attempts at modifying what I had. Thanks for the help. @Hailey_Phillips
Some with the WE steps are using 3/4 but putting a groove in the backside so the step lays flat.
Glad I could help. If I was gonna drop to 5/8” wood, I would be sure it’s something really strong, that is if you’re shaped like me haha. And make sure of the direction your grain is going, you don’t want the grain running left to right, it can break at the crossbar if conditions are right.
