Prefered Internal Power Rack Dimensions?

I'm knocking up my own power rack and just needed some info on the internal depth that is preferred.
I was considering 1000mm internal. I think some racks I have used have been anything from 700mm to 1000mm.
I prefer a bit more room in a rack personally.
If anyone has a rack that they can measure the depth internally would be appreciated.
Cheers,
 
Deeper the better IMO.
I'd just go as wide as your bar allows and make it square though
 
also depending on your height restrictions where you plan on putting it i'd go as high as you can so you can OHP inside the rack and also hang rings and use them with some extra space
 
My width will be 1200... This will give me 45mm clearance either side to rack the barbell. So might look at making the depth the same.
Cheers
