    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.

    That is incredibly fantastic! As I walk off and pout because I have no room in my house for anything like this ....

    That would be a good incentive to remain consistent so that the vines don't grow around your barbell and permanently attach it to the rack.

    You could use the vines as resistance bands if that happened.

    I wonder if I could build it to look enough like a trellis that the wife wouldn't notice what it actually was.

    Hmmm....

    Excellent idea! We're about to take down the kids playground - I could just stick this right in it's place.
