I made a dumbbell rack with what I had. I have about $10-12 invested in it. I used an old bed frame and posts from an old bench. The the bed frame is a bear to drill through and to cut. I recommend cobalt drill bits and a metal cut-off saw. Four of the bed frame rails were 29 inches long, so I went ahead and made the rest of the rails 29 inches and this pretty much used up the railing I had and just happened to fit into a space I wanted to use perfectly. I ended up with four tiers that will hold either 3 pro-style dumbbells each or a mix of other things. I made the bottom rail wider to hold either my Olympic dumbbells or my Wrist Leverage Bars. Since I could not really angle the tiers, I made wood spaces that staggered the tiers. Here is what I started with: The staggered tiers: The finished rack: Loaded Rack: |
