And that's a very good idea but a shed, which I haven't managed to find yet, would be away from the place I live, which is fair enough, but there's a huge advantage to practicing when you feel like or just fooling around when you feel like (which has its benefits) instead of when I have to because I had arranged my schedule that way.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I think I'll go for a modified version of the tennis ball platform, adding a sheet of mineral wool on the top of the bottom sheet of wood to further help disperse the vibrations transferred by the tennis balls.
Cheers!
