Hi Betty, thank you for your help. I was wondering though, how to put weights on the leg if I don't want to use the suspended weight bags.

You may use 2.5 gallon bucket filled with water and weight it down with bungee cord. Bucket can be pick up at Home Depot. Hope it help.

Hi. I personally took 4" PVC pipe and cut it about 2 feet long. I put a cap they make for them on one end, filled it full of cement, then stuck an eye hook (12" long) thru another end cap I had drilled, put washers and nut on the end of the eye bolt so it would anchor good in the cement and glued the cap on (which I also glued the other end). You can put sand bags around the feet but it's not nearly as safe as hanging weights. You'll find this out the first time a good storm hits!

They usually sell weight plates at a Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods that you can use. They are only 5 lbs each though. I believe Undercover Canopy also sells a gravity stake system. They attach at the top of the canopy frame corners and use straps connected to stakes.

Just attach the legs (safer shipping it sans legs, less likely to get damaged). It only took a few minutes, and my 2 year old helped. Very sturdy.

Hi Betty. Thank you for your recent purchase. Yes, the legs are to be tight. You might want to get a cylindrical pipe or PVC or something to give you more leverage or just turn it as tight as you can and then tighten even more. You will not break it or strip it by tightening. Legs should not be loose. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 888-567-5867. Thank you! JumpSport Customer Service

You could try using sandbags. Or something similar. I have thought about it since on windy days the dryer will blow over. You could also try to tie the legs down, but I don't know how well that would work. You could also weight some sturdy plastic or rubber bags of water (to act like sandbags) but you could decide how much water to use and therefore how much they would weigh). Sorry I don't have any better answers.

make sure that you can drill 7/16" on the bottom of the leg's and that it won't weaken them. then follow the easy to do instructions. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Elizabeth. I had to lay across the table and pull the lever UP while really putting my full body weight onto it. I'm not that big of a person and this method works well for me. Hope this helps.

This should work because you wrap the bag around the base of the pile and then wrap the Velcro around it. I filled mine with plastic ziplock bags of sand. You could also lay the other weights on the base for extra stability.

You can actually use the smith bar as a leg press if you lay on the bench. Probably not the safest way to use it but that's the way I use it! :)

I just push the air out by hand. If you lean on it, you can use your body weight very effectively. I just went and looked at the instructions, and that's what they recommend, as well.

Not at all use sand bags or they make weights to put on the legs. Make your own with sand bags

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

I'm quite thin too and have had no problems. You're not really sitting on your bottom, anyway, but straddling the seat. I borrowed one from a local 'back' shop to try out, because they are quite expensive: perhaps you could do the same.

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the question. Are you asking if you CAN? Or telling me you can? Can you please reask and reword your question? BTW i would NOT recommend this bench unless you are using it for very light exercising. It is very unsturdy when you begin to use heavy weights for exercising.

I just open the lid of the seat and grab the bar (you'll feel it through the bottom of the bag) and gently pull up on the bar. The legs/wheels should then collapse toward each other. Make sure you DON'T have the brakes on before doing this as it makes it more difficult. Hope this helps!

I am not having that problem.. Of course mine is on carpet. Maybe you can get those little rubber thingys that holds throw carpets down and put them on the ends of the legs.. might help and you don't lose much if it doesn't.

While I'm no expert, I've noticed at times discomfort myself. I think you need to be sure you wear good shoes to take some of the immediate pressure from hanging. You have to remember you are hanging your entire weight off your ankles. I have shifted my weight more to tops of my feet when I've noticed the discomfort.

The legs have a hard plastic end. They seem smooth but to be doubly sure to protect the floor, you might want to use felt on the bottom of the leg.
