No, we didn't build it with the idea of people jumping off the riser, but it feels sturdy enough.


The plywood is 1/2 inch thick. Yes we used bolts to piece both sides together. The pics are in this post:

Here's a pic of the riser in action.

The Circus guys hooked it up. We've been meaning to get hold of them to find out.

I dunno Craig, after some of the homemade risers I've had to crawl over I'd happily pay $599 for one that won't move on me when I'm straddling the floor tom trying to reach the stage box behind it.


Edit: Responding to a 2004 post.

 

 

 

LOL, that's okay, it happens a lot.

 

My point was that a couple of sheets of plywood sitting on plastic buckets isn't worth six hundred bucks. You're paying for liability coverage for the manufacturer, not better quality for you.

And I've got to ask ... do you have a red card? a permit? are you an expert? Does Great White ring a bell?

 

You could easily kill a few hundred innocent people. Get a mirror ball for god's sakes. This is serious {censored}!!!!

No, like I said we weren't responsible or in charge of that. They were hired by the event organizers and I do not know if they have all the things you asked about.
