More storage ideas such as band storage. Adjustable dumbbell/kettlebell stand. Plyo Boxes.

A good way to find wall studs is use magnets to locate drywall screws. Use 2-3 magnets, find 2-3 screws vertically and there’s your stud.

Great Video - Thanks. I'm going with dowel method with a few modifications. HD sells a 8' long oak closet rod for $34 that will give me 12 8" plate horns. Rod is 1-5/16" in diameter. I'm going to put black PVC pipe with 1-7/8" O.D. over the oak rods. They make endcaps for the PVC pipe. You get a black sleeve that is the same color all the way through. Don't have to worry about paint wear.

What’s better the metal plate option or the wooden dowel option? For option 1 and 2 on your video? Which can you load up more

@KaizenDIYGym

2 жыл бұрын

If you’re looking to load up super heavy, I’d go with the metal pipe but use bolts going all the way through the 2x4. That’ll be strong enough for just about anything

Love your videos.

@KaizenDIYGym

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

Material and design strength question for you... With your design, which do you feel is theoretically stronger? Pipe vs dowels? I ask because even though the pipe is metal, there is less surface area countersunk into the flanges. The dowels seem to recess deeper into the material. In the past, when I have threaded pipes into flanges I can only go a few rows thread deep into the flange. Also the wall thickness is less with the pipe vs dowel. Anyways. I am interested to hear your thoughts. No physics formulas required in your response.😉😂🤣

@KaizenDIYGym

I’ve been using both in my gym for years without any issues. They’re both pretty damn strong. I’d have a hard time guessing which is stronger without some sort of test (or engineering expert chiming in)

You could drill with a hole bit on a drill and screw the pipe deep into the wood to give it more strength

How much weight do the options hold? Specifically 45's?

@KaizenDIYGym

2 жыл бұрын

I designed these to hold a full set of weights (255 pounds) but they can probably handle more. I keep four 45s on the bottom. You can always use bolts to make it extra secure too.

What is the inner diameter of the flanges? Are they 1 1/2 inches? If so, the plates should fit kinda tightly?

Yes. It’s a 1” pipe, the outside diameter is slightly over 1”, the weights have 2” holes, so there’s plenty of room.

i mounted my pegs directly into my wall stud. should I be worried about hanging the weight directly on the wall stud? or should I add an extra 2x4

@KaizenDIYGym

Жыл бұрын

That should be fine. It really depends on what you used to mount - short screws vs long screws, wood screws vs lag screws

Dry wall anchors are not good enough, you have to be into studs to hold plates.

Great video. One quick question: how many 45# plates do you think each dowel could hold, safely? Just the 2 shown in the video? Or could it take 4? Thanks.

@KaizenDIYGym

If you use bolts instead of lag screws you can definitely put 4 plates on each dowel.

Try drilling all the way through or just to the bottom of the 2x4. The more depth the dowel has in the 2x4 the stronger it will be. Just make sure you use wood glue and you should be fine. You could also you a 4x4 and that would be much stronger as you could put the dowel at least 3” deep
