Building a power rack??

[Rissole]

My gyms too puss to buy a power rack (run by the council) so me and my bro are going to build one !! Does anyone have any ideas or use a good power rack ?? I know it's hard to explain in words but give it a bash and if you got a pic of a good one chuck that in too.
Once again i thankyou!!

There's not much to them, 4 upright poles with holes drilled ever 2 inches up to about 6 feet (probably about 7-8 foot total hight.

You would be better off just buying one, but if you really want to build one just go to a site like www.fitnessfactory.com and look at a pic of theirs.

The one at the gym has about 2" space from the color of the Olympic bar (whatever that works out to) and is probably about 2 1/2 feed deap, the legs on the bottom extend about a foot from the back and front upright.
