Here's a few pics of the box jump and GHD I built. The box is 18", 20" and 24" depending on which way its sitting. I put a hard foam on two of the sides.

The GHD sits on top of the box. At the moment I stick my legs under a loaded bar on the cage. I'll probably build something on the wall for a better job. I used one floor mat to cover it.

I just used bits of scrap that were lying around so cost me nothing.
