And if that doesnt work out and you cant find one to suit for the money, maybe try building one. My first power rack cost me 70 bucks in scrap square tubular steel and a few hours of my time. I got the basic measurements off websites and from stores and changed them slightly to suit me. No way I could have killed it, and built for me, to suit me.^ I might do just that.
Might have to give the 200kg racks a miss. I'm not squatting that any time soon, but if I want to do rack pulls it might be a limiting factor.

One of the installers I work with is a boilermaker by trade.
I thought about having one made up.
Then I thought, by the time I bought the steel, had him make it, with racks, bars, weight pins, then had it all powdercoated, I probably wouldn't have saved that much. Plus, it was too much stuffing around.
Might be different if you were handy with a welder
The other option is handing over plans and steel to a professional welder, but that could get expensive, will take ages, and I have no idea how to find a welder anyway.
Too right.
Seriously though mate, you can buy the commercial grade rack from gym direct for $1200ish.
Unless you are really hard up for cash it's not worth the stuffing around.
