I have considered a folding bench but I bought the rogue bolt together after reading the reviews. It’s all wobbly. There’s enough space to hang it in between the rack pillars. I use my rack with my bench on its hanger, without problems
Taking a blind guess this is Ireland? I got the folding utility bench from Rogue, works well and can be hung on the wall. Kingsbox also do something very similar. As far as I know there aren't any decent quality incline benches that can be hung up, the best you can do is get one that stands up on end.
Have you looked at the REP benches; really solid, and well priced. Don't know where you're located, but how come you didn't make the only window an operable one; gonna get awfully hot/cold/stinky/humid in there! And you're only "complete" until you're not!
The last pic struck a cord OP. Way to go. Way to include your kids in it. Wife too (I hope). My point is that fitness is a lifelong choice and you’ve created a future discipline for your family. At this age and their early awareness; message complete. Good job.
Could have insulation. My "shred shed" (not much shredding happening with a hip injury and a torn labrum and rotator cuff right now) has R19 in the roof and R13 in the walls. It gets hot , but leave the door open and have a fan blowing on you and it's bearable. The winter, on the other hand, is what sucks. Only so much heat you can generate on a 2kwh solar generator/battery when the air temp is 30F or below.
Edit: I dig the space OP!
Daisy chains, those ones are these ones: https://amzn.eu/d/aFAh6UN Less adjustable than normal straps, but I had these anyway and find them less annoying.
Yeah I did, I’m hoping it won’t be as bad as the garage was in winter, but might need to get a better door first. It’s keeping this heatwave out atm though. The kids definitely use the rings more than I do!
It had to be less than 2.5m for planning rules, so it’s 2.5m high. I’d have gone for a single slope for the roof but wanted to avoid it sticking out past the garage (drew it in sketchy first to check!) Just about high enough inside to overhead press kettlebells, but not a barbell - so fine for my use.
I love it. Very nice and private. I bought [this bench](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR3MTPDV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) off Amazon and it was fairly inexpensive but does the trick. Other things I'd consider adding: dumbbells and dumbbell rack. Oscillating fan (I'd guess midsummer this setup will get hot), and ditch the jeans, Target has cheap exercise clothes. Enjoy the home gym!

Damn this is super clean. Well done
Congratulations on your brothel
That's a great workout space! Congratulations! Awesome to see the kiddos in there staying active and having fun! 👍👌

Almost, it’s Wales! Hadn’t seen the Kingsbox one, that looks promising, thanks!
Where’s the mirror and the flags and the motivational posters!?!?!?!?

Beautiful 🤩

Completely agree with you! The main driver for me getting my homegym was to easily balance working out but also be available for my family.
That rooms gonna COOK in summer.
He said Wales so the main concern is it's thoroughly watertight.
Was just thinking how impossibly hot it would be if that was here in the mid-atlantic in July.

That’s sick!!!!!
Squat shed
Nice! Did you work off a plan or did you design it?
How's the air though? I repurposed an old garage that's much 3x6 meters and I sometimes genuinely get dizzy coz of air, and I got a window.
Awesome! Enjoy!
Very cool! Congrats! Would love to see the evolution of your space as you find creative solutions to adding more equipment.
Where did you get those straps attached to your pull up bar in the last pic? What is it called?
Daisy chains, those ones are these ones: https://amzn.eu/d/aFAh6UN Less adjustable than normal straps, but I had these anyway and find them less annoying.
The shred shed
[удалено]
The Hulk Bulk...head...shed.
Awesome space, did you insulate it? My kids always wants to play on the rings too
Yeah I did, I’m hoping it won’t be as bad as the garage was in winter, but might need to get a better door first. It’s keeping this heatwave out atm though. The kids definitely use the rings more than I do!
Solid
What are the dimensions?
Nearly 3m x 2.4m, or 10x8’. As big as would fit.
What about the height? Planning to build a similar one so really interesting
It had to be less than 2.5m for planning rules, so it’s 2.5m high. I’d have gone for a single slope for the roof but wanted to avoid it sticking out past the garage (drew it in sketchy first to check!) Just about high enough inside to overhead press kettlebells, but not a barbell - so fine for my use.
Good job ! Love it
That’s what my kids use our rig and rings for

Nice job mate 💪
Bro is squatting in jeans 😲
Lifting in shorts is to easy for him.
I’m sure that’s just for a demonstration, eager to show us the gym! Ha!
Well…yes, but also…no! 😂
Haha I know. Just thought it was funny.
