Finally finished

Nice job and work !
Not knowing the wall thickness of your square tubing.
I will say this though ,being of a engineering background.
you could have a safety problem with the adjustment holes that close.
The tubings lateral strength could be a problem with extreme weight above the fine hole adjustment.

I'm sure you thought of it though before building
again nice work .

it is 11ga tubing. we have the exact rack in our gym and have had no problems. we use the rack pretty heavily so I am comfortable that it will hold up. with it being tubing, the safety pin would be in a quasi double shear at each upright. The safety pins and rod for the J-hooks are 5/8" CR.

Looks good. Give the powder coat a try. You won't be disappointed

I typically powdercoat almost all of my pieces. The black pieces in this one are a black wrinkle powder. The coach had a set amount of funds to work with hence the paint. It definitely would have been a lot easier though. The one advantage of paint is he can go to Home Cheapo and get a rattle can of rustoleum white to touch things up.

All future racks will be powder, I know where my strengths are and painting isn't at the top of that list
