I started building another platform last night.
3000mmx2700.
I'm using:
yellow toungue chipboard flooring 3000x900 as my base.
12mm plywood laid in he opposite direction and screwed down on top.
9 1mx1m 15mm thick rubber mats on top on that
Then black ally angle run around the perimeter to hold the mats in place.
Will be around 43mm thick and take a beating. Total cost ~$500
With your plan, why are you using 42mm Pine to raise it?
That's going to make it weak. You will put a hole in it.
Aren't proper oly platforms built like that to have some spring in them, I agree he hasn't placed the battens close enough together in that picture and will probably punch a hole in it.
Not sure, but being a chippie and a powerlifter, if he lifts more than my female clients, he will put a hole in that.
The only reason I included them was because this is how I'd seen it done b4. It would be easy to put support structures closer together to make it more structurally sound, or would you go against raising it altogether?
Dude why bother just do like sticky said lay a sheet of chipboard on the floor (cause its cheap) and ply down the guts of that with rubber mats on either side.
This is what I knocked up today.
3000x2700x50
