Hi,
I recently got, and installed, a speed bag unit. The platform vibrates a fair bit and I've read that you can put sandbags on top to reduce this, but I wonder how much I should put. I've read 50 pounds, but that seems like a lot for this set up. That said, would something like 20 pounds work at all?
I've attached pictures. The 2x4 and the 2x6 are spruce and both are screwed into the studs (2 screws to a side, each). The rails are screwed to the pieces of wood with one screw in each piece (so 2 per rail). The platform is attached to the rails with regular nuts and bolts, without the help of notches, or anything like that.
I want to reduce the vibration, but without running the risk of the platform collapsing or ripping itself off the wall.
Your help would be much appreciated.
