Well, your pic can be made with a saw and a drill and some wood glue. It's made of pine. Just standard framing wood from hardware store.

Probably want to make it sturdier than pic related though. I bet that thing flexes around a bit when the weight is on the top pegs. It's the construction of the top part of the frame that concerns me.

That frame looks good.

I would reinforce it with some lag bolts and metals plates on the joints, but otherwise it's fine. Most people never squat more than 200-300 pounds anyway. The pace is slow during a squat, so you're not even generating that much kinetic energy either.

The pegs are just dowel rod.

The crash bars are steel.


You can make a rack out if 2x6 pine.

Lag bolts, a sae, corded drill and some large auger or forstner bits for the holes.


Personally, i dont know how much weight your expexting this to hold.

Wood is cheap. I would double or tripple up my 2x6" , gluing them together to form a 4x6 ir 6x6 .

I would space the holes, at least 2.5 or 3" apart.
