    Hi there, new thread on this topic to get a few fresh ideas,

    I have been thinking about getting a power rack for ages, looking for as good a value for money as I can. don't want to be sucked into buying something expensive on the pretence that its 'good, and will last a lifetime' nor do I want to buy cheap buy twice

    1) What commercial type rack with a few hundred kg capacity, vague I know but I see suggestions saying minimum 1000lbs rack to be safe, is this overkill?

    2) anyone know or have got one built by fabricator, savings etc? how did you go about it , im afraid of getting it wrong.

    3) wooden power racks? any experience, may be easier to build than metal


    thanks

    Just buy the Odin one for 350.

    It will be solid and at that price it won't be beaten for value anywhere.
