I was looking at this

what other possibilities are there? i could get a vertical one but i like the idea of a horizontal one. Not sure about putting hooks in the wall.

Have you looked at Rogue's wall-mounted bar holder?

Least expensive option for wall rack:

is there a way to get it smaller so one bar holder?



would like to mount it to the white painted crossbeam, one for an olympic bar and another for my 5 foot curl bar.

I picked up one of these last week and its awesome. I like that you can check the bars for straightness right on the rack because it holds the bars on the sleeve.

Honestly, with ALL that stuff you have in there, tripping over the bar should be the last of your worries, just lay it on the floor

i'm not worried about tripping on it. i just have no floor area to lay it on the floor . tripping on it is only a concern as in if i laid it somewhere and i did trip, it could end up breaking one of the mirrors.

don't hate i know u are still mad about that curl bar

What to you mean by "white painted crossbeam"? Do you mean the molding around the doorway? I wouldn't hang anything by the molding. Those are usually attached with finish nails and aren't intended to be load bearing.

its too big to be a doorway. it feels solid. i'm not sure its molding.

[owasM]

couldn't you use those hooks people use to hang ladders on?

I'm probably going to invest in a horizontal rack as well,
I know that fishingeek has the TDS rack that is pictured in the OP for his ivanko bars and plates,
I'm just not sure if I want a freestanding rack or one that mounts on a wall like the rogue.
Both to me look good and have their pros and cons

[trnk1001]

I have one of those TDS plate holders (the bumper plate version - so more room, but only stores 2 bars instead of 3). The weight limit (900lbs) includes the bars as well since mine got bent a little when I put 850+ lbs of weight on it. It's not very stable unless you can put it against the wall. Now I put most of my metal plates on the rack (450+ lbs. using 3/4" ID pipe), with only 428lbs. of weight (bumper + metal) on the TDS plate holders.

These are my personal favourite. You can setup as you want. I really like the vintage look:

any photos of yours? is it strong enough for a 45 pound bar?

I havent setup mine yet since I am moving soon. I am sure they will hold up. I think the seller has other models too. My concern would be about the cross beam over the doorway. Would it be able to regularly take the beating?

well its not really a doorway. there is a little over 5 feet of space in that opening. and the wood doesn't feel like molding its hard and solid. its the same as the wood my doors are made of. i took the door off one doorway and the thing is heavy as hell. so definitely real wood. the brace feels as solid as the door.

[matrix563]

since my hallway is now open again, maybe i will just build a stand out of some wood. and mount those hooks to the top. make it not thick enough so there is room to maneuver in the hallway. i don't really want it in the hallway but i don't want to chance anything either.

Lean them up against the wall?

i might do that but i have cats. and they are always knocking stuff over.

Has anyone tried to use the rogue gun rack with a safety squat bar? did it work?

Rogue gun rack.

I have both, both works fine for their purpose, Rogue gun rack is more space saving option as does not take any room on the floor, NYBB can also be used to store weights, your choice.

Speaking of Roque Gun Rack, what do you guys use to protect knurling on bars, I installed rack closely spaced to fit shorter EZ-Curl so 7' bars rest on the knurled section instead of sleeves.

I use these, but didn't know about the gun-rack hooks which are cheaper.

I am planning on buying it as I can't seem to find any other free-standing horizontal bar holder in that price range. And it doubles as a weight rack. Can't beat that.

Here is TDS plate/bar holder in action. Picture is not mine, was taken from one of the threads here a while back. I don't remember which thread it was.

I use these as well. They are called Tornado hooks and are available at Lowes or Home Depot.

[matrix563]

these are cheaper than the gun rack hooks. ?

You can see a Rogue bar mounted over a doorway in the photo below. I used products from Gladiator Garageworks, purchased from my local Lowes store, for the wall storage that you see in this photo. (This photo was from the Rogue Ring Hanger thread.)

thanks kbkb.

i think i've just decided to go with this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271140574467...84.m1432.l2649

i offered 70, since i could get it from wayfair for $76 shipped with a free coupon. they probably won't accept but wayfair is pretty cheap. and i can store a few more bars if i get them with this.

i do have a giant plate tree in my outdoor shed that has 4 holes for bar storage. unfortunately its too heavy and big to be inside. takes up more room than my new leg press!

How tall are your ceilings? I've thought about one of these, but my ceilings are only 8' tall. With a 7' oly bar and assuming that sleeve is 6" high there's not much clearance to get it in and out without worrying about poking a hole in the ceiling.
