My Homemade Kettlebell Rack Was Absolutely Free!
If you have more than a couple of kettlebells it can get a little difficult knowing where to store them. If you workout in your garage or basement it may be fine to just chuck them to one side. However, if you’re living in a smallish house which doesn’t have a garage you’ll have to find somewhere indoors to store them. I used to keep them in my lounge (and personally recommend this as they make great conversation!) but have since opted to store them in my study.
Of course, what you don’t want is a whole lot of kettlebells strung across the floor which takes over space and are there for people to trip over. The answer to this is of course a kettlebell rack.
A quick Google search changed my mind on this. Who wants to spend $349.95 or $379.95 on a kettlebell rack? That’s a lot of money to spend on asthetics when you could use the money to buy fun stuff like sandbags, maces or more kettlebells!
The Free Solution
First of all, I have to say I didn’t build this, nor was it my idea. My wife designed it and used the help of a friend of mine to build it for my birthday a a year or so ago.
The materials were completely free, a bunch of wooden pallets. The labour in this case was free as well, and I imagine most people would have the tools and skills to build it themselves, or they’d know someone who could help them.
Personally I think the recycled wood look is very attractive and it made the kettlebells even more of a showcase when guests came round (I’ve since moved it to my study to free up space in our lounge). The only problem is I’ve been itching to replace the Perfect Push-ups on the middle row with a couple more kettlebells!
