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.
I actually embellished a bit on the pilot hole. The directions called for a 3.5mm hole, but I couldn’t find my 3.5mm or 9/64" bit, so I went with a 5/32" (~4mm). I figured the half millimeter wouldn’t weaken things an appreciable amount.
It also looks like the power lags are only intended for wood to wood use, but they do look super nice. I might use them when I frame in our sunroom kit.
