can I use a 6' bar with this rack.

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.

All olympic bars have the same distance of handle. The difference in length is only in the collars for weight loading.
1171577
Length between exterior edge on the posts is 47". I would not be comfortable with less than 53" between interior collars on the bar.

Not really no, the uprights are too far apart cuz it is meant for a 7-ft (full Olympic size) barbell. If you used a 6-ft you would have to rest the weight-holding part in the rack, which would be very tricky and probably dangerous with weights on the bar.

Yes. This could work depending on the weight you put on the edges of the racks. The supports 24" apart would serve to hold a great amount of weight over the center of the racks. You could always go into attic space (if available) and place a support (2x4 or equivalent to joist) between the joists to which you could bolt the metal supports.

Yes. Unless the bar is super short. It works fine with my 7' bar. The forks def hold 315-ish, but I'm not sure how strong they are above that, as the seem a bit wobbly.

the length of the bars on my bike are about 16 inches, that's enough space for one set of racks (two rifles). If you have twice the space you may be able to mount the second set. Hope this helps, good luck, be safe.

No, it only properly works with a full size olympic 7' bar. You may be able to get it to sit, but it won't be safe at all

The rack is 3'10" in width so your 5ft. bar might be to small. I use a 7' long Olympic which fits perfectly.

Yes definitely, I'm about 6 foot 4 and trust me there is a lot of room inside the bar. I use it for dead lifts as well.

No, but perhaps Yes.As others have pointed out, 'adjustable' pertains to the height, not the width. The top bar is not adjustable, and is fixed at 60". If this rack _really_ meets your needs otherwise, it's possible to saw off each end of the top bar outside the attachment to the uprights without affecting the integrity of the stand as a whole. But that's a lot of work if you can find another rack elsewhere that meets your needs.

Depending how high your bar is, the shoe rack will leave about 6" - 8 " from the floor

Absolutely. I use a 5' bar but only because of limited space. The racks are plenty sturdy, and stable, especially when anchored by storing your extra bells on them. I use them as a squat rack and a bench press rack. Don't know how I got along without them.

Do not kow.My bar is 4 inches around. Maybe you might need a different model.

Probably not, most 6 foot bars have around 47 inches of space, 5 feet olympic bars would likely be less than the required

Luckily for you, I don't think so. This rack was a waste of money for me. Good luck

This will fit a 6 foot Olympic bar, but without hardly any room for error to the left or right when re-racking. I use a 7 foot Olympic bar and there's much more room.

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.

No it's for a 6' bar the rack is too wide for the 5' (it ends up resting where the weights go)

The 5' is 34 1/4" between the collars. I don't own the 6' but the collar length is the same as my 7' Oly bar so I think it would be safe to assume that you'd be at 46" on the 6' bar.
