how many people here would buy a power rack for their home? i'm thinking of making my own, direct from machine shop, and also powder coating it. if it doesnt cost much to make, my plan is make and sell. also, of no real importance though, powder coating has multiple colors to choose from. hot pink if you want. and what is a reasonable price you would pay?
 
For anyone wishing to execute important lifts a power rack would be an essential part of their home gym, therefore I'd buy it if I was going the working out at home route. I never shopped around for power racks so I can't really tell you how much I'd pay for it but there was someone on this forum asking for advice on a home gym a few weeks ago. I suggested they buy a power rack and they said they've been looking and that they're not cheap. I can assume you can sell one for $500 but I could be wrong.
 
I'm putting a design together. it's pretty much simple. just deciding what type of metal and shape of metal to use. i was thinking selling around $500, which i think is a good deal, but need to estimate shipping prices, or maybe i should let buyer deal with that. i think another real catch is being able to choose color, maybe to match other gym equipment or just personal taste. or maybe make color choice optional at additional cost.
 
A decent, quality, new power rack will run you around $1,000. So @ $500 (depending on the quality) you should do pretty good. Shipping will be expensive, though.
 
Probably some 1.5x3 c-channel, 2x3 box tubing and some miscellaneous flat stock and angle iron. That's what I would use. Shop around for the material.
 
i would let the buyer pay for s&h at that price. just do a pink for the woman and white for everyone else. it gets costly if you have different set ups per customer. imho.
