Fold Out Squat Rack

Описание: Looking for a cheap way to stay fit at home with limited space? Here's my build video for a Fold Out Squat Rack. Materials cost me $136, a fraction of the cost of factory made racks. Not pictured is how much weight this holds (See two month update).

** Two Month Update -    • Fold Out Squat Rack Update  

** One Month Update - I coated the rack with an outdoor furniture finish to protect it from slamming the bar against it. I follow power lifting style workouts (Squat 320, Bench 225, DL 360) but only have 300lbs of weights. The rack is holding together just fine.
At 6:20, you'll notice quite a bit of wiggle even with the stop blocks underneath the 4x4 posts. I have since used other scraps to make feet that fit a tighter. This amount of wiggle means the rack isn't really using the feet like it should.

This is only one way to build this contraption. For complete plans (including sketchup model), materials list, and recommended tools, look for the plans on my website:
