Overview
The Rogue Fold Back Rack Stringer Pair is a specialized mounting solution designed to simplify the installation and enhance the structural integrity of the Rogue Monster Lite Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. These American-made steel plates serve as a robust interface between your gym's wall studs and the rack's mounting brackets. By using these stringers, users ensure a more secure, professional-grade fit that eliminates the need for sourcing custom lumber or "make-shift" wood stringers from a local hardware store.

Key Features and Specifications
Construction: 11-gauge laser-cut and bent steel.
Dimensions: Each stringer measures 59" long x 10-1/8" tall.
Protrusion: Extends just 1-1/8" from the mounting surface when installed.
Hardware Included: (12) 3/8" x 2-1/2" Black Wood Lag Screws (for mounting to wood studs).
Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with the Monster Lite and Infinity Fold Back Racks
Finish: MG Black Powdercoat to match Rogue’s standard rack finishes.
Aesthetics: Features laser-cut Rogue logo branding.
Performance Benefits
Optimized Structural Support: These stringers span multiple wall studs, distributing the weight and dynamic force of the rack more evenly across the wall than individual mounting brackets.
Simplified Installation: The pre-laser-cut holes align perfectly with Rogue’s fold-back brackets, removing the guesswork and manual drilling required when using traditional wooden stringers.
Flush Mounting: The low-profile 1-1/8" protrusion ensures the rack remains close to the wall, maintaining the space-saving benefits of the fold-back design.
Professional Finish: Provides a clean, "industrial" look that matches the rest of your Rogue equipment, replacing the bulky appearance of 2x4 or 2x6 wood planks.
Maintenance and Care
Hardware Tension: Periodically check the 3/8" lag screws to ensure they remain tight within the wall studs, especially if the rack is folded and unfolded frequently.
Surface Cleaning: Wipe down the powder-coated steel with a damp cloth to remove dust or gym chalk. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the black finish.
Wall Integrity: Inspect the wall surface behind the stringers for any signs of cracking or stress in the drywall, which may indicate a need for additional structural reinforcement.
