Afraid I'm not that meticulous with my plans or execution, but from a high level -

  • The posts are pressure treated 6x6s, 14' long for pull ups, 10' for the rack. I hand-dug holes about 3.5'-4' deep and a foot in diameter, filled the bottom 6" with gravel (for drainage, don't want the bottom of the post to sit in a puddle underground), dropped in the posts, and filled the rest of the hole with concrete.
  • The rest of the platform was dug out with a shovel some 4-6" deep and filled with crushed stone (crush and run, as some call it). Used a hand tamper to compact it all down and level for a nice solid base that will also drain water through.
  • I used outdoor decking tiles as my platform. 1' squares, they snap together, are designed to live outdoors, and allow water to drain through. They have a little give, but once stomped down into the gravel they seem plenty sturdy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ALK5DXC/
  • I was using stall mats for the pads last year, but they held water and were gross after a season. Upgraded to vented tiles designed to go over concrete garage floors. They don't provide much give, but the crushed stone underneath can handle that for me. Mostly for looks, a little so my bumpers aren't landing on sharp rocks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y2LGZT2/
  • Border I added this year, made from retaining wall blocks found at home depot. A big upgrade from the plastic edging I tried before, and not much more expensive (just a pain to haul and level)
  • I picked up some monster lag bolts and screwed them into holes drilled into the squat rack posts. Holds great. Will nick up my bar, but it's already being sacrificed to humidity keeping it in the shed, so I'm not worried about it.
  • Pull up bar is powdercoated and designed for outdoors. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4W1OFG/
  • The deck storage container is there for bumper plate storage. Waterproof. I bring in the bumpers during the winter. Beats the hell out of trying to haul em in and out of the shed each use.

    I'm happier when I'm not keeping track of dollar values on these things, but... I dunno... $700-800 total? Maybe?

    Hope that helps!
