Thanks for a great instructional video Adam. However, it would be amazing if you were able to put together a ‘shopping list’ of parts and ideally where to buy them, especially the metal bars and brackets. I am going to try and make a free standing version if I can since I live in a rented house so not so easy to sink the posts in concrete!

@paddingtonsnare987 3 года назад

Maybe you could make a free standing pull up/muscle up bar from scaffolding. Like an A frame or something.

@bartkuk1 2 года назад

How has the free standing version turned up in the end? Cheers

@MrADancerUK Год назад

Great and simple video/installation. Wondering if you get any wobble when using it? Was thinking of adding some supporting struts at the base but now unsure if I need to...

@Adam-Builds-It Год назад

I thought I would get some wobble but surprisingly not. The 100x100 posts seem to work well

@mistazed1170 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! How is this looking now ? Still stable ?

@markmottershead646 3 года назад

Thanks Adam, just what I've been looking for and you made it look so easy! I presume you painted Ronseal or similar on the posts to stop them rotting?

@Adam-Builds-It 3 года назад

Cheers, yes used a Cuprinol light oak external varnish and the post savers seem to make fence posts last many years. The hardest thing is motivation to out in the cold and do it!

Hi, this is gem! May I ask what wood treatment did you use? Stain/preserver/oil based or water based? Which product? I assume those posts are pressure treated so was it difficult to apply anything on them? Many thanks 🙏🏻

@Adam-Builds-It 2 года назад

Hi, yes they were pressure treated but I did use a water based satin exterior oak stain and It seemed to take ok. Can't remember the brand. Sorry

love it. I'm going to build mine based on your example. Where did you get the materials from?

Hi, Posts were just from a local wood place in Hertfdfordshire, they are just normal fence posts. If you go on ebay and search for Galvanized tube and clamps there are quite a few suppliers.

How did you connect the galvanized pipe to the wood? I’m a diy newbie.

@Adam-Builds-It 3 года назад

Hi, they are called rail base, or pipe base. It's a galvanised fitting that you put the pipe into which clamps on with the hex bolts. It then has two holes to fix to the wooden uprights

@rossmccall8725 3 года назад

Brilliant thank you for the inspiration too. May I ask how you’re getting on with it and also finding the tube diameter you used? Do you think the 42mm tube would be too thick?

@Adam-Builds-It 3 года назад

If you do an OK sign with your hand and measure the diameter of the hole made by your thumb and first finger, thats a good diameter for the chinup bar. It gives you an idea of your best grip size. 42mm should be about right. Im getting there, but less inclined to use it in winter ! Up to 10 chin ups and 16 dips now.

HI, stability seems good. I'm 100kg and does not seem to rock. I still use them, but at 46 I've given up on the muscle up LOL ! I am happy to do 10 chin ups and keep that up.

@emp-ty-g Год назад

nice build! i am planning something similar.i am thinking about drilling holes in the post for the bars and put the sockets on the back side of the post so it hangs in more than 2 screws. and fill silicone in the drilled hole. and tophats in galvanized metal for the post`s helps a lot. hope that makes sense nice that you menchen both cm and inches.

@Adam-Builds-It Год назад

That sounds good, As an update the longer posts have twisted slightly over time.
