Discouraged with my commercial platform vibrating like an olympic springboard and the general inability to get any decent platforms in the UK at reasonable prices - I've decided to make one of my own.
The unique situation I have is that my gym is in my basement - but unlike american style basements the ceilings are very low - about 6'5" unlike the rest of the house which seems to have been created for giants!
So the matter of adjustability of the platform was crucial with regards to the low ceiling height. Being a 3D modeller by trade I could easily proof the design virtually without commiting any resources and the design I have come up with is in the attached images below.
I have the materials coming to build mine and will show photos of the construction as it progresses.
I'm interested if anyone else would like one of these made in the UK (heck even europe) at a reasonable price. With minor design changes I can acommodate higher ceiling and even no adjustability at all.
Email me if anyone's interested! cheers
