Will this only fit 7' bars? I have a 6' bar that measures 48" between. I notice the rack says it's 48" wide

Better off getting a 7 ' barit's a great rack easy to put together very sturdy takes up little space

dear karen, the rack measures 48" outside to outside.if your bar measures 48" between,it is going to be very close and i do not think that i would chance it,i myself went ahead and bought an Olympic ( 7'-0") bar.it works fineelana

The measurement from the outside of the uprights on this squat rack, where it holds the bar, is 46 3/4". Some people may be taking their measurements from the lower part of the rack which is wider than the upper part. I have a standard 6 foot weight bar and the gripping area is 48" from plate stop to plate stop so, it easily fits on this squat rack. Anything shorter would not. I hope this helped since you got a lot of different answers; some from people who don't own a standard bar.

The rack measures exactly 48" wide, to the outside of where the bar rests. If your bar is 48" between, it should fit perfectly & still be able to add weights.

I just measured the brackets from edge to edge. Their is a total of 48" in spacing. This fits my 7' bar with about 2-3" on both sides. I agree with A. Eckert, that it's probably impossible to rack a 6' bar. Hope this helps.

The inside measurement between the two uprights is 45-1/2". The outside measurement is 49". The two cradles for the bar are each 2" wide.

It will not fit. Even with my 7' bar, there is only about 2-3 inches of space between the bar's inner collar and the rack's arm cradle. With a 6' bar, there's no way you could rack it.

When I measured it, it was 48 inches. The grippy part needs to be a little bigger than that to sit so you can put the weight on properly. When I measured the 6 foot bar at the store it wasn't the case. I think you should just buy a new bar. It's great if yours doing a circuit so you don't have to switch weights on and off. I still use my old and new bar.

Looks like there is a slight variation going on here.., i just measured mine, any bar which measures greater than 47" between collars would fit on mine.

I have a 7-foot Olympic bar and I believe it was designed only for that -- I don't think you can use a 6-foot bar on it. For sure not a 5-foot bar.

I got a 7' bar and it fits very well. 6' should fit also but may be a bit tight.

Yes, it can but you need to get a bar that is at least 7ft. If you use the 6ft bar it won't fit.

The 48" bars are just the required minimum length. Anything over is fine, just watch your face while getting in.

I'll get back to you tomorrow morning.. I use a 6' bar and it makes it with some room to spare so my first impression would be no. I'll give you a more precise answer tomorrow when I get home.

Whitmor makes a canvas cover (6462-389) I don't know if it fits this rack...I'd call them for dimensions

I measured 23" not 24" as its advertised. When I measured the cage I got 23 1/4" long x 16 1/4" wide x 20" high. As far as the bar spacing, I am not sure if you meant between bars so I measured that to be approximately 1 1/4". I hope this helps. I made a short vid but there is no where to attach it in this response??

Hello, I have 48" bars. This holds my 22" yakima box and the sport rack. It all fits with some room to spare. Hope this answer your question.Greg

The bar is 48 inches wide. The brackets are 2 inches. That only leaves you 1 inch on each side. You place the bracket where you want. It might look goofy with the brackets all the way at the ends of the bar but you could do it. You need to anchor it to the studs for safety.

No it would not fit a 56''. I owned a 5 foot (60 inch bar) and it ended up about 3-4 inches too small and had to get a 6 footer.

I own this unit. It is 159" long and 55" wide without any attachments. It is 72" wide with the Malone Auto Racks crossbars installed. Hope this is a help to you. Have a good one.

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

The Rack for the bar is about 46 inches or just under 4 feet apart. I use a 7 foot bar. I'm not sure where the weight dividers are on the 6 foot bar, but that would be the big question. In other words, as long as the skinny part of the bar where you grab with your hands extends 4 ft, you should be good.

Are you asking about the width? If you are, it fits a 7 foot olympic bar pretty snug. Meaning, if you pull the weight off the rack to squat and walk sideways, you'll bump the plates into the racks, but this happens in any power rack when using a 7ft bar.

Space in between of two bars is about 3 & 3/8 (inch). That's what you asking I assumed.

Hi, the one I have is designed for 1 inch however it has a tolerance of an 8th. inch on both sides so should fit your bars. Good luck.
