Quick answer: UK garages lie about height. Measure to the joists, then subtract bar whip and lockout. Prefer a Mirafit-style half rack when width allows; a folding wall rack when the car still lives there.

Most “2.4m” garages lose space to lights, door tracks, and uneven concrete. Pull a tape at the exact spot the bar will travel.

  • Half rack: better for squat/bench if the bay is dedicated
  • Wall folder: wins when you need the car back by evening
  • Skip tall pull-up towers if lockout already scrapes

Verdict: Half rack when width allows. Folding wall rack when the car still has to live there.
