Alright so building my platform has been a little slow going but there has been some progress. Metal is bought, just need to get it cut and welded and get myself a Deville swivel. Should hopefully have it finished early to mid next month. I bought a 24x24x1 pine tabletop from lowes and sanded/stained it so it looks amazing. The part I'm not sure about is what to put on it next. Its a covered setup in my garage but durring the winter it gets wet. I mean a slick on the ground/heavy bags/whatever and my previous drum got some mildew on it which I don't want to worry about this time around. Could someone help me out as to what is the best? I was aiming towards minwax outdoor polyurethane

you might try checking out this thread http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...ead.php?t=4402
and see the post by aad03 (Senior Member) who lives in the Houston Tx area. He says: I've built a couple outdoor drums. I have one that stays outside exposed to sun and rain, and it has stayed in perfect condition for 2+ years and counting. It is made of 1" HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).
With a link to here: Regal-Plastics
and a video of it on his boat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn5UQxV6uw4
There are a few others on here that have outdoor setups, so you should get some pretty solid feedback in a few days.
Hope this helps.Speed Bag
