Also preferably, between said railing (12) and the floor (9) of the upper table space, a grooved profile (16) for water collection and an impermeable sheet (17) of pvc or the like is provided under said pavement (9) that waterproofs it to avoid infiltration into the lower space (2) when it rains, as seen in said figure 5.

According to figures 6 and 7, it is observed that, preferably, the ladder (4) is formed by a plurality of steps (18) welded between stringers (19) whose lower end has, like the pillars (5), with a support plate (10) from which part, inferiorly and integral to it, a corrugated rod (11) that fits into a hole made for this purpose in the ground. At the upper end, the stringers (19) of the ladder (4) are fixed by means of the screws (14) to the perimeter beam (6) interposing an L-profile (20) provided with through holes (21).

On the other hand, according to figures 8 and 9, it is observed how, for the union between perimeter beams (6) and interior beams (7), preferably, the existence of a U-anchoring piece (22) is foreseen welded together (23) perpendicularly to the perimeter beam (6) in which it is fixed, embedded inside and through through bolts (24), the end of the inner beam (7), for which said piece has respective through holes (21).

Similarly, as seen in Figures 12 to 14, for the connection between interior beams (7) and the ends of the belts (8), welded joints (23) and on the one hand are provided. opposite an anchor by another U-anchoring piece (22) that is welded to the beam (7) and attached to the belt (8) inserted in it by means of through bolts (24).

In addition, at the junctions between pillars (5) and perimeter beams (6) anchoring means by fitting and support have been provided, for which, as seen in Figures 15 to 19, the ends of the perimeter beams (6 ) have upper (25) and lower (26) flanges that fit, respectively, in individual housings defined by an upper plate in L (27) and a lower plate in C (28) welded for this purpose on the lateral surface of the pillars (5).

More specifically, the upper flange (25) of the end of the beams (6) partially covers
