How to build a cheap and easy home gym weight tree using scrap wood, a few broom poles and a drill. This DIY plate rack weight stand will transform your weight plates from a pile of metal into a useable functional home gym.
Despite being made of wood the stand is incredibly strong. Make sure you place the heaviest weights at the bottom and be careful when the heavy weights are in use as it becomes top heavy and could fall.
In normal use it’s strong and keeps itself secure due to the weight that’s on it. The wooden broom handles hold a good amount of weight. I have placed 20kg on each side in 5kg plates with no trouble.
Let me know if you make one! Keep safe and thanks for watching.
