Opinions would be appreciated - except if you say I need more space as I don't have more. Already struggling to store my 3 cars and 9 bicycles and don't have a garage...
I was going to say a full rack but that half rack actually looks good. It has the additional weight storage within the same footprint as a standard rack. Adding weight storage to a full rack ups the footprint by about half, or a weight tree is an option too. I use a full rack with a sheet of 18 mm ply out front with some rubber gym matting to absorb impact. Total footprint of about 2.2x2.4m which gives me every lift I could think of as well as working with a bench. If I wasn’t so ginormous I could do overhead stuff within the rack and cut that back to about 1.2x2.4.
