There is nothing worse than getting complaints after the first training session because the deadlifts were too loud and the neighbors feel disturbed. In contrast to the professional platforms, which cost around 3,000 to 4,000 francs, we have a cheaper alternative for you. You can build your own SVR platform with little material and relatively low costs. We’ll show you step by step how you can create such a platform yourself.

• Wooden Beams
  Length 9.4m (2x 2.5m / 2x 1m / 3x 0.8m), 100mm x 75mm / 50mm
• Wooden Panel
  1m x 1m, thickness 25mm
• Rubber Mat(Top Layer)
  2x 1m x 0.85m, thickness 25mm
• Getzner Shock Absorb
  Standard 1.5m x 0.75m, Thickness 50mm/ 75mm depending on use*
• 16 Angles
• 64 Screws for the angles
• 12 screws for fixing the rubber mat / base plate on the frame.
• 8 washers for fixing on the rubber mat
• A cordless screwdriver
• A Jigsaw
• Measuring device
• Pen and note paper
• Cutter

* Barbell up to 80 kg and shoulder height, the 50 mm Getzner Shock Absorb is just about enough. Everything over 80 kg and / or above shoulder height you need the 75 mm Getzner Shock Absorb. You can order the Getzner Shock Absorb and the rubber mat / top layer from us. To the product 25 mm rubber base, 50 mm G-Fit Shockabsorb, 75 mm G-Fit Shockabsorb.

First we start with sawing the beams. To do this, we measure the bars and mark the interfaces. You can see the dimensions on the plan.

When you have marked the interfaces, you cut them to size with the jigsaw.

The Getzner Shock Absorb comes from the factory with a size of 150cm x 75cm. We have to cut the piece in half so that in the end we have two equally sized pieces of 75cm x 75cm. Once you have marked the interface, the easiest way to cut the Getzner is with a cutter. A sharp blade is important! When cutting, you don’t have to exert a lot of pressure on the blade, but rather cut finely several times over it.

Since we have already cut the Getzner to size, we can place it in our temporary frame construction and align the central beam with it. This is how we avoid further dimensions. When the temporary construction is in place, we can screw it with our angles in all corners.

We already had the panel sawed to size at the hardware store (1m x 1m, thickness 25mm). You can of course do this yourself with the jigsaw.
It is important that you sand down the edges. Otherwise you can damage or damage your weight plates / bumper plates. Injure fingers or feet.

We have to cut the rubber mats to a format of 100cm x 85cm each. The easiest way to do this is to use a router or jigsaw.

After you have prepared all parts, you can arrange them according to the plan. As a last step we have to fix the rubber mats and the wooden plate on the frame construction. Use the cordless screwdriver to drill the holes according to the plan and screw them into the frame structure with the screws provided.

Your SVR platform is ready! Please test them in the designated room and see how they behave in it. Even the Getzner Shock Absorb gives you no guarantee that the noises will stop immediately. But it’s a massive reduction in volume and much better than without attenuation.
