Home Gym - Power Racks

[RPD]

Looking to set up a home gym, that will be outdoors, but covered.
I only know of a few names that make quality products, namely Texas Strength Systems and Ghost. The latter carrying a massive price premium.
I'm specifically looking at something like this guy - https://texasstrengthsystems.com/collections/racks/products/3x3-power-rack-with-weight-storage
https://ghoststrong.com/
Anyone have any other brand recommendations? I live in California and was honestly hoping I could find something made a little closer here, but not a deal breaker to ship from TX.

There's a few companies I know of that make near there. American Barbell is a quality brand, they just moved out to Vegas from California. Extreme Training Equipment is mostly chinese imported stuff, but a lot of their power racks are actually made in LA (or used to be).

Rogue Fitness is still a common name, they're in Ohio.

There are some other brands I'm blanking on right now.

im not from the USA , but in AUS Rouge fitness are well regarded and they have both a USA and AUS presence:

Power Racks - Power Cages

Every Rogue power rack can serve as the centerpiece of a garage gym or as a versatile station in a large-scale training facility.

Oh yea, I should have started my search by looking at the brand names on plates.. Derp. Thanks for the recommendation, I've heard of them and I'll check them out.

I got a bunch of Rogue fitness stuff recently .. squat stand (not a full power rack due to space constraints), barbell, plates. It’s nicer than the equipment at any of the gyms I’ve regularly visited with the exception of the gym on the Air Force base I work on, or used to pre-pandemic. It matches the quality of that equipment because it’s all Rogue

- Again Faster
- GetRXd
- Titan Fitness
- Vulcan
- Rep Fitness
- Fringe Sport

Pulled the trigger on this Friday - https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/ethos-power-rack-1-0-17au6uthspwrrck10gmu/17au6uthspwrrck10gmu

Was surprised they had one in stock (I got the last one within 100miles), so I didn't have to pay for shipping and it is really, really stout. Put it together Saturday and Sunday I was able to find a basically new Rogue Operator Bar 3.0 along with a set of 45lb bumpers and Sunday I found a steal for a set of 45lb Ivanko plates. Hoping this week to get about (4) horse mats and either a weight tree or find ones I can mount on my rack and I'm pretty much all set.
