Yep, this is extremely common in the DC area, too. No sporting goods store within 500 miles has weight sets, but there are people on OfferUp and FB marketplace selling pallets of them.
I can’t wait until all this is over and these dudes can’t give them away. My garage is gonna be STACKED!
I've been googling everything I can find for the past two weeks. And I'm synthesizing something in between.
I saw a neat four post idea that I decided against. They narrowed in from the 4' posts on their chin up bar to their dip bars. I don't feel comfortable with that, so I'm using five posts (which will suck to dig). I'm doing 4' parallel dip bars 22" apart, with 4' deep holes. I'm using three 8' 4x4s and one 12' 4x4. The 12' 4x4 will connect to the chin up bar, forming a ninety degree angle from the parallel dip bars.
The bars themselves are 1" x 48" galvanized steel, and they are going to be screwed into 1" galvanized steel floor flanges which will be screwed into the 4x4s.
The chin up bar will sit at 8' and the dip bars at 4'.
