Check out Gorila Fitness. Made and ships from Canada, so I'm assuming cheaper all-in price.

IMO Squat stands should be sufficient if from a reputable company

Thanks for the link to Gorila Fitness. I might use them. It looks like it will be a long lead time, but at least they ship to me in the NWT.

I have a power rack and it's great. I bought mine off kijiji a few years ago and I would highly recommend looking on there. I do agree that you could get away with a squat stand and it would be sufficient, but I do like that you get the safety of the cage. I think that the guy I bought it off had built a few for the police or something like that? Regardless, it's fairly heavy duty and more than enough for me.

I wish I could get a cage second hand. I watch online and have Facebook marketplace notification set-up, but things go fast. Over the last five years, I was able to get my power tower, a universal bar, and some plates, but I've never seen a cage.

I like to do a lot of pull-ups, dips, and might get into some ring work. So I like the stability of a cage, especially if I can mount it to the wall. I also like the idea of spotter's arms. For some reason, my 5' 105 lbs wife doesn't like spotting for me.
