60 Kg in 3'x1' area unacceptable floor loading?
hi, my son is into lifting weights, which he keeps in the corner of his
bedroom in a space 3 feet by 1 foot. over the years he has been given weights by people and the total weight of them all is now 60 Kg. our house is a terraced house built in 1938 in north london (u.k.). i worry that this is too much weight in such a small area, and a strain on the wooden flooring, but he does not think so. am i right to worry about this, please? |

Sounds like eqivalent to me standing in that corner- and I'm not heavy. I hope your floor could handle that. Sure you're right about that total weight? Not missing a zero, are you? Then I would be concerned. |

What I would worry about is dropping a 25 pounder on the ground or something and having it end up in the kitchen sink downstairs! |
