DDR Pad with Back Section
|
This is optional, after I finished the pad I
added a small back section for more safety.
It's made of 1 inch by 3 inch MDF fiberboard
that's 33 inches long wrapped in sheet metal
that is screwed together with a 1 inch by 2
inch piece of MDF fiberboard that's also 33
inches long. Then I added a 2 inch strip of
peg board thats 33 inches long on the
bottom to make to make it 1/8 higher than
the pad. You can feel the backpiece with
your feet if you are drifting too far
backwards which makes it safer. If you plan
on adding the backpiece, then cut your
bottom peg board 33 inches by 35 inches.
Then you won't need the 2 inch strip of peg
board. I also used 4 long screws to go
through the MDF rail on the backpiece to
the MDF rails on the pad.
