I was just thinking to myself... Would'n it be fun to have a bar for my metal mat? But I dont know how to make one or where to buy them from... Well i geuss Ill make a post on ddrfreak about it, and here I am now! I think i have a games depot metal pad, and im looking for some way to put a bar on the back, but im not sure if its posibble. Im welcome to any ideas!

If theres a sticky on this, I would like it if someone could point me in the direction of it

put extra thick plywood underneath your metal pad. then put plumbing pipe or something on plywood. there you go. =)

You also have to think about how much a DDR Arcade pad weighs, versus a home metal pad. If your metal pad only weighs 30 pounds, it isn't going to hold down your plywood-mounted bar too well.

It is true about the metal bar not being supported by enough wieght.. Do you want it to hold the full force of your weight? If so You'd probably need to make a very heavy base to place it in.
