Indoor home gym (not a garage) so I wont be able to deadlift but I will be squatting

Heavy duty squat rack on strength shop is an option at £300 - wondering if theres a good cheaper option? Or rack

I'm currently looking for something like this myself, however for a garage.

I keep looking at the strength shop stuff, but there are tons of other options out there too it seems.

Mira fit, bulldog gear, again faster, rival strength to name a few.

Ive seen a few on Amazon for around £100 (support up to 250KG) that might be fine but i wont want anythign too wobbly.

I deally it needs to go low enough to bench and also to be abel to floorpress in an ideal world


Any specific suggestions

I have had these now for 3 years. Stood outside in the pouring rain, snow and dog piss.
They still haven't broken with rust.
I've never squatted above 250kg so I've no idea how they'd do beyond that but for their rating, they are plenty strong.

Downsides. Yep, forward leaning re-racks are a bit precarious due to the slight wobble if you have them up high. I'm 6ft6 so they have a bit too much sway to re-rack anything other than cautiously.

I also bought a strengthshop bench and found that dropping the pins out of the squat stands means I can now bench. At maximum arm length lift off! Good job I have long arms. I'd never be able to bench otherwise
