What is a 2*3 and where might it be on the bar. How much of the bar have you built?

I am confused by the terminology in your post.

I have to agree with Chris. You're post is very hard to understand what you're trying to ask.

Please post again with some clearer terminology. :confused:

guys
i think his talking about the 2 x 3 he used to fasten the bar to the floor.
he might have tried nailling it to the concret floor and it wabble
if so he should used a power faster or used a hammer drill with tap con nails or grip con srews

cheers

okay let me explain more clearly
how i had the the frame all done was by 2x3 and i had them screwed and nailed on to the concret using my hammer drill. the problem is they wiggle and i notice today that this cant be made because there is nothing on top of them to support it so any ideas on how i should start building the layout and stuff.
i hope this is a bit more clear to understand.
