Overview
The Rogue Gun Rack is a professional-grade, wall-mounted horizontal storage system designed to organize and protect multiple barbells. Built in the USA from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel, this rack provides a stable, "set-it-and-forget-it" storage solution that keeps barbells off the floor and accessible for quick transitions in home gyms or commercial training facilities.

Key Features & Specifications
Capacity: Stores up to 6 barbells horizontally.
Construction: Precision laser-cut 7-gauge steel brackets.
Bar Protection: Features optional UHMW plastic liners that snap into each cradle to prevent metal-on-metal contact, preserving the barbell's finish and knurling.
Footprint: Slim profile that mounts directly to wall studs or masonry.
Finish: Signature Rogue Black Powder Coat.
Mounting: Includes pre-drilled holes. Mounting hardware is typically not included (Standard 5/16" or 3/8" lag bolts recommended).
Performance Benefits
Maximum Organization: By utilizing wall space, the Gun Rack clears significant floor area while providing a professional, "armory" aesthetic to your gym.
Universal Compatibility: The cradles are designed to hold standard 20kg, 15kg, and most specialized Olympic bars (e.g., EZ Curl, Axel, or Safety Squat bars) by the shaft.
Safety & Security: The notched design ensures bars are nested securely and will not roll or slide out of the rack.
Modular Use: Two brackets can be spaced at any width, allowing you to accommodate standard 7-foot bars or shorter technique bars.
Maintenance and Care
Bracket Care: Wipe the powder-coated steel with a mild soap and water solution to remove chalk and sweat. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
UHMW Liner Care: Periodically wipe the plastic liners to remove accumulated dust or debris. If liners become damaged or excessively worn, they can be replaced individually.
Hardware Check: Occasionally verify that the mounting lag bolts are tight, particularly in high-traffic facilities where bars are frequently racked and unracked.
Installation Instructions
Determine Spacing: Measure the length of the shortest barbell you intend to store. Set the brackets at a distance that ensures the bar is supported by the shaft, not the sleeves. (Common spacing is roughly 48-52 inches).
Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to locate two structural studs. Do not mount the Gun Rack to drywall alone.
Level and Mark: Hold the brackets against the wall, ensure they are perfectly level with one another, and mark the hole locations.
Pre-Drill: Pre-drill holes for your chosen lag bolts.
Fasten: Secure the brackets using heavy-duty lag bolts and washers.
Plastic Liners: Snap the optional UHMW liners into the cradles before loading your barbells.
