I was curious specifically about how the sliding on the floor would work! The 1/8th inch shims look like they worked well. I’m guessing when there’s weight on there, the 1/8th inch gap closes just from the flex and the posts come in contact with the ground?
If you are using the spanner boards like I did in this video, you just need 3 inch wood screws to attach the boards to your wall studs and 2.5 inch lag screws with washers to attach the rack to the boards. Drill gun, drill bit, socket wrench, and a level are all you really need.
@@bennyo my general contractor told me to use lag screws into the studs with enough length for 2" thru the stringer + 3/4" thru drywall + (4 x the diameter of the lag screw to effectively grip into the stud, so 1/2" lag screw x 4 = 2" into drywall) for total length of appx 5".
I’m done assembling and ready to install. You gave the length for the screws BUT what about the diameter? I was thinking 3/8 lag screw, and a washer with an outside diameter of 1 inch. Would this work for the mounting points on the rack ? TIA!! ☺️
If you want to see my wife speed paint the wall: ruclips.net/user/shorts3NO3tbzMyxs?feature=share

LOL! I tried to get her to paint in a bikini. She said no. :-(
better to imagine it :D@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub
Hello, what is the width between the mounting brackets? Thanks for the video!
You are very welcome! Let me run check.
The inside edge of the brackets are exactly 37 in. apart on mine. That puts the outside edge of the uprights at exactly 4 ft. when opened.

It actually floats a bit now and does not come into contact with the ground.
Hi I got a titan space saving X3 and want to know what kind of bolts I need, as well as tools required would you be able to answer this?

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub Great information! Just want to confirm, you just screwed the rack into the board, not into the board AND the stud correct?
@@Ricky_Does_Coding Correct.
3 inch wood screws will suffice for that much pull strength?

Thank you for sharing this with us
My pleasure!

That is exactly what I used. I can't wait to see your finished project!
wow handyman! that is a nice room. expand to garage?
She won't let me expand into the garage.
you probably got one big car! build a "carport" outside, and use garage as gym. that is what we are doing.@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub
I’m installing one this weekend. You got any attachments yet?
Nice! I have the spotter arms and a belt squat attachment so far.
What size lag bolts did you use?
2.5 inch
@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub thank you! On my way to Home Depot right now lol
Nice!
Did you get it put up yet?
@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub it’s assembled but not bolted to the wall yet. Waiting for my stall mats to come in
it would be fun to see you sing like Be gees, Stayin alive.
It would not be fun to HEAR me singing it. LOL!
