Question for anyone who has built a home gym in the UK

[Sib]

Thanks for the info.
I'm concerned about low frequency vibration transmitted to the concrete floor.
I have three layers ( 11cm) of acoustic gym mats and these definitely reduce vibration.
You can check this by placing s glass of water as close as possible to the platform and record a close up video while deadlifting.
Any noticeable vibration transmitted through the platform to the floor will disturb the water level.
I'm currently deadlifting with a very slow eccentric to minimise any problems but this is very tiring.

I'm thinking a pair of drop pads with a gym mat placed on top. This will provide a stable, horizontal surface for the pull and n/loading.
I'm not sure about the effect this would have vibration suppression.

I have a couple of thick rubber gym matts and I'm soon to add some ply on top. I don't know what they cost but can't remember it being expensive.

The customs charge on the ss bar was 80 pounds for anyone who might be interested

You’ve got it already. What was the total price ?

It arrives next week but I've paid the customs charge. Its cost 430 pounds.

The price for me (I live in Greece) is more than $600 including shipping and customs.
More than double the actual product price. Seems too much. I'll just get an atx ram bar or a strengthshop bar for a fraction of that.
I wish I could buy it for a reasonable price.

I'll get you a picture once the bench shows up too

Including postage ? If that’s £430 all in I might take a punt on the DL bar.

Good luck buddy

Postage and the bar were 356. Customs was 80.

I thought that was good value tbh.

Yes, that’s not bad at all. Far less than my estimation. How does it compare to the Strength shop bar-feel, spin, knurling, build quality etc ?
