Thanks for sharing and pointing out the faults too. Not many people out there show us that mistakes do happen and qudos to you for being a perfectionist. I know the the feeling 😊
You can put a rubber setting block under 1 side of the mirror to adjust it's height so the gaps become correct. This is how glass is set in the professional glazing industry. Home stores should have glass setting blocks or just use a piece of hard rubber as a shim.
Exactly what I was looking for. Just installed my Rogue Monster Lite Folding Rack, and I wanted to see how these Lowe's mirrors looked before I bought them. Thanks!
Thank you for the video and pointers. I was set to purchase the Keonjinn Home Gym Mirror 48” x 32” for $135 per mirrow. Your Project Source 36-in W x 60-in H are larger and less expensive at $84.98 per mirror, and I wanted larger mirrors. You covered every detail in step by step procedures. I will purchase 4 mirrors which will be 144 in. The two 72 inch jay mold will be the perfect fit. what was the height that you placed the j mold? Thank you, brother for the video!
I used 2" long screws to make sure they held in the wall studs. The most important thing is to get flat head wood screws so they don't scratch the back of the mirror.
Closer to 3 feet, they were also not equal distances, the builders did not do a great job with consistent spacing. This wasn't a problem with my mirrors but meant I could only mount my Wall Rack to 2 studs instead of the recommended 3.
According to the videos I watched most people just mount the mirrors to the drywall with anchors and are good. But with my mirrors being on the same wall that my rack is mounted to, I wanted to make sure when I rack the weight and the wall moves that the mirrors down fall so I mounted mine into the studs.
Question brother I have concrete walls in my garage curious if these would still work obvi I’d need small concrete drill bit. But not sure about the screw to use.
I wasn't sure about this one. The only difficult part is getting the j-channels mounted to the concrete. I can't advise you how to do this but I did find a RU-vid video of someone else doing it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4yjHZduSHTA.html
I wondered the same thing. I have no issues about damaging the mirror when folding the rack. I am always careful when folding the rack but there is a small gap from the wall when folded so the rack arms don't touch the mirror.
"The best part about working out at home is being able to check your pump in the mirrors, without anyone else seeing you do it" But flexes on the video for 20 seconds so EVERYONE watches him do it. 😂😂😂
Yes. The width doesn't matter because the rack doesn't block you from mounting the mirror width wise. Be aware the Rouge Monster Wall Rack has enough space for a 60 inch height mirror but the Rogue Monster Lite does not, because the stringers on the Monster Lite are mounted closer together. There may be a way around this but that is the main reason I went with the RM instead of the RML. Good luck on your build!
That is a good idea! It can't hurt and I have noticed sometimes when I rack the weights the wall will move a little. It would be added peace of mind if I knew they were glued.
Nice video as it is helpful to me prior to my garage gym installation. Is that a 2-car garage? I will be using a 3, a side-by-side, 2-car and single-car. It appears as if you only mirrored one side of your garage. How did you go about purchasing equipment? This will be a concern of mine because I'd like new, top-of-line equipment if I can afford it. I'm wondering if the company from which you purchased from delivered? Helped with securing them to the Heavy Duty Rubber Flooring? I'm new to this so .....
My garage is a 2 car garage. I ordered all my equipment from Rogue Fitness website. They were great and the shipping costs were much less than I expected considering the weight of everything I had shipped, I think they discount it or cover a portion of the shipping based on your order. I did only mirror one wall because my other wall is all storage racks. The flooring I got is 'Horse Stall Matts; that I got from Tractor Supply store, they are the best quality and cheapest solution for gym flooring by far. Good luck on your build!
