[andy302]

just moved into a new house going to put the speedbag out in the garage but its to low to attach the platform thinking of bolting the drum straight to the roof but its coragated metal not to sure about the vibration problems.Any advice pls

It's no good going to a corrugated roof Andy, you'll definitely get to much vibration. So how low is the roof? Surely, if you can stand-up straight then it'll be OK to put a wall mounted platform up. You will have to think about some room for a bag of sand too, depending on how solid your set-up is of course.

ill have to put some pics on.i thought the vibration would be bad the walls of the garage dont go up to the roof so im going to struggle with any platform because of the height.The platform ive got its at sugarrays its the club ultra pro adjustable platform sorry dont know how to add links.My mate suggested weilding to pieces of angle iron to the struts that go across the roof and bolting the drum to them but there will be no room for any sand.

No problem on the link to sugarrays club ultra pro adjustable platform

Why did you chose that particular model over the two vertical bar version?

Ok, looks to me like you got 3 choices.

1. change the platform, if sugarrays will do that.
2. build the wall up!
3. set the height and cut off the excess tube!

So how tall are you and how high is the wall and roof?

I would have gone for this, looks like you can mount it pretty close to the roof.

yes i wish i wouldve gone for that one.Im 6ft tall the platform ive got is not that good is says it stops all vibration but it doesnt ill try cutting the vertical bar down. thnx

because my friend got a cheap two vertical bar platform and its terrible so i thought i go for that one it says it ellimates all vibration but it doesnt because it attaches in the middle of the drum it vibrates alot even with sand bags.
