Leveling my weightlifting platform on a sloped garage floor

[@nhidai3962]

How are you liking this platform? What did you use underneath the platform to level it ? I am planning to building one myself in my garage. My garage floor has a big slope, so hopefully what you did can counter the slope.

[@DCWoodWorking]

If you look back in my videos I used roofing shingles. Works great but takes a bit to get it right especially if you are going to be doing cleans and deadlifts. But once it's settled it's solid.

@@DCWoodWorkingthank you. Well noted. Will let you know how it goes. I love the background music! 😅

[@MA22badger]

Do you have all the details for how you did this?

[@DCWoodWorking]

I just leveled them according to the slope of my garage floor. The easiest method I could think to do it. Has been solid for a year now.

The previous homeowner left tons of shingles in the barn and would never have thought to use them to level my deadlift platform. Mind is blown dude

[@DCWoodWorking]

@@ourtube4266 it was the best method I could find!

[@robbmcbee1169]

Did you run screws through the osb into the shingles. Did you wing or space a screw every square foot?

[@hurdlin86]

How did you secure the plywood to the shingles? I’m doing this to half of my garage floor. About 9’7” x 10ish feet

[@wellscraft]

Did you have to cut each rubber piece to a different thickness?

[@DCWoodWorking]

Are you referring to the top of the platform or what I used to level it?

[@nathanlh116]

The material used at the base to level it.

What wall mounted weight rack is that?

[@DCWoodWorking]

I made it using 2x4s and 2" dowels. Mounted on French cleat hangers. There is a video of it just a few before this one

[@StephenNovotny]

Why did you choose roofing tiles? Are you concerned they will move over time? Others I saw used plywood to build a wedge but it appears it took them much longer than your solution.

So good. Full berries.
