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.
