Advice re: outdoor squat Stand for home

Hi All

I really need to get myself a squat stand with full spotter arms for the option to deadlift from about shin height. I just want to be able to front squat, deadlift, bench , overhead press mainly. I wanted to just get a power rack for the back garden that's suitable for outdoor use but would be too big and ugly for my patio 🀣

Do you know of any similar to Rogue? Rogue sell a fantastic piece of kit that is exactly what I want in terms of size etc but it's pricey, currently out of stock and I'd like an Irish supplier of possible.

Well it ain't much cheaper than the Rogue one you have linked but Apollo do a similar one, 500 excluding spotter arms

Spotter arms are going for 180

Unless I'm missing something, its not cheaper at all.
It's 500. Rogue is 425.
Arms about the same for each.

I don't mind paying a bit more if it's for an Irish biz. Elvery's etc don't have anything similar.

Was on phone are could barely see it. Nothign to see here. :P

That's pretty sneaky pricing. Very American.

Blk Box have squat stands in stock for 300 GBP but they’re freestanding, not linked. Easy to move but not as stable. They just come with j hooks.

Made in Belfast AFAIK.

The Apollo stuff is presumably fabricated for them? At that price, hopefully not imported from China.

Rogue had a few of those models in stock a few days ago ... They went quick!

I would consider contacting a local engineering works or handy man to see if they can make something bespoke for you. It would work out a lot cheaper.

Something like this might also work for you - https://www.donedeal.ie/gymequipment-for-sale/squat-rack-and-pull-up-bar/26050338?campaign=3
