My house has an out building that I’ve converted into a home gym. I’m working on getting as much up off the floor as possible, so today I installed this wall mounted weight rack.
Installation was surprisingly easy, apart from driving massive lag bolts into 3.5mm pilot holes. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the directions that said to install the top 170cm (5’7") from the ground and instead did 183cm (6’), because the Olympic bar is just slightly off the ground.
The right most bolt didn’t quite line up with the stud, but it’s secure enough for now until I remove the top piece and throw in a large drywall toggle bolt.
Next up will be steel pegboards to hang things like resistance bands and handles from.
Wood has some stupid high strength properties, especially with a few hundred pounds of roof keeping the stud in place.
Since the force on it is mostly sheer force, the bolts are the most likely failure points. Well, I’m actually more concerned about the welds holding on the posts than the bolts.
Haha, yeah my concern is more about the potential damage that could happen rather than the actual probability of something happening.
