I'm thinking of buying some equipment and starting a home gym.
What are some safety concerns I need to be aware of if I'm working out alone?

You either buy a power cage or you go to a regular gym.

An adjustable squat rack that can be used for bench press is really just a homemade guiliotine.

I've considered this as well.
What do I need to look for when buying a power cage, and how much am I looking to spend?

A few things spring to mind: will it fit into the room? Made of steel? are the welds even? does it look like pic related?

note: I'd also say that this is acceptable.
if you're settinig up in a livingroom/ spare bedroom/ a furnished part of your house I strongly recommend to get at least 1/2" thick rubber mats so you don't fuck up your floors when you're deadlifting.

will it meme the meme? wew lad.
I'll order one off amazon and put it together myself.

I'm considering putting in on an outside patio, and throwing a tarp over it when I'm not using it.
I need a bench as well if I'm doing bench presses. Any bench of will do?

I'd reckon so, any bench that looks sturdy enough will do.

Obviously, used equipment would be the most logical thing to search for, however, should I opt for new equipment and put it all together myself?
How much should I spend; does it matter?

When I bought mine I got the bar, the plates and the rack used, the bench I got new because the ones I checked out were nasty, people never clean their shit.

I'm sorry I can't give you a number for your budget.

This. Full cage or it's too dangerous to lift alone and unattended.

I got an Ironman H-class full rack for like $150 on amazon one time. $300 for a barbell set at dicks sporting goods.

Is it hard to put together?

No it took me maybe 1.5 hours with the flat piece of shit wrench included. I would have blasted through with a socket wrench.
