I dont know the exact amount but I know it was around $180ish:) I still need a metal pipe to do pull ups with so by the time I add that it will be around $200.0 -
Ohhh gosh I think I need to grab my husband and go 2x4 shopping and give him a new "project."

Holy chit.
This is epic.0 -
Looks awesome! I don't have a picture, but I made my own out of wood as well. I love it! It was only 100 dollars in materials, and is pretty easy to build.

Ehrmahgerd!!!!
One of these will be my power rack. Hubby is looking for a new project anyway. Score! :drinker:0 -
Sweet. Though for the money (if you're talking $200), I'd just splurge and get a cheap power rack off of amazon. You can get them for under $400 shipped. Or a used one off of CL. I'm lazy though, and I'd probably kill myself due to poor craftsmanship.0

And as a bonus, you got exercise building it!0

Very nice!
