I work out at a local park. It's fun, but I would probably rather work out at home sometimes because folks will stop and say "Why do you work out so much? Are you showing off? Why workout in the heat, cold, rain, etc.?" I explain why and they look at me like I am crazy anyway. Now I just tell them it's theraputic and cheaper than alcohol and drugs. Hahahahaha!
Leaving my mark here in 2024 as I embark on a journey to build something sturdy yet transportable at my current rental house. Awesome vid though! 💯 All the best from Western Australia 🦘😎🤙🏽
Hello there, I'm also on my way to building a pull-up bar. The steel posts just arrived today. I wish you a lot of luck on your journey 😁💪Greetings from the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
@@alexandrbilek5906 I appreciate it bro! Due to my circumstance of living in a rental house without the opportunity to dig holes due to an artificial lawn in the backyard, I think the easiest solution will be for me to purchase a power rack and just suspend the olympic rings from it to perform exercises. Cheers bro, much love from your former Polish neighbour who moved overseas 😄 I hope your build goes smoothly and successfully 💯
Nice Bar!! Looks professional, and thats a nice clean yard you have there! I made my bar out of two wooden 4"x4"s , a 5' galvanized pipe, a bag of quikcrete, and a hole saw drillbit for around 50-60 USD's.
Great video, my friend. I have a question. If I build this setup in my garden, won't the water rust the metal? Also, won't the concrete be affected by the water? How do I prevent this?
Galvanized and stainless steel are meant to be highly resistant to rust and corrosion, which makes them ideal for outdoor use. As for the concrete, if you let it cure properly, and avoid excess water in the area during curing time, it will be fine afterwards. There are also different mixing methods and additives for concrete that help with water resistance once fully cured.
@mpalau No problem at all, if you do end up building it can you post a video response of you doing some sets on it? Would be awesome to see a replica of this somewhere on the other side of the world!
The best bar I've seen on the internet I have no doubt about that, it's done perfectly, I knew it when I saw the stainless steel bar welded to the galvanized tubes, that doesn't bend at all, the tubes bend, the bar never.
@GreyandtheBlues ~$400 AU, but it depends on how much everything costs in your particular area. You can build it with different materials and follow the same specifications, but I can't guarantee it will be as structuraly sound.
can anyone send or reply with a list of the materials shown above with the purchase link or website please because i cannot find any of this within the 500USD price range. It would be greatly appreciated.
Or... 2) 4x4 posts, pre drilled for 1 1/4"black malleable pipe. Drill holes in pipe for 'stop' bolts. Place one post in hole and set in concrete, plumb in both axis. Put pipe in hole in post. Put up 2nd post and run pipe through that post as well. "True up" post and secure. Run pipe through 2nd post. Adjust height of 2nd post until bar is level. Double-check post for 'plumb'. Concrete 2nd post. Work out... WAAAAY cheaper. For added longevity, treat posts with wood preservative stain.
Go to a steel supply to get all the stuff. If you don't know where one is ask your welder buddy, a welding shop, or a welding supply store. Any one of the three will point you in the right direction. This is not going to be a cheap bar by any means, but at least it will keep you hanging..
Likewise you could use 2 4x4 boards and drill some holes, and use concrete to keep em firmly in the ground. Would save yourself quite a bit of money. Buy some cans of undercoat to treat the wood with to super weather-proof it. That's what I intend to do, the cost comes out to only about 60-70$ in materials, assuming you have shovels and a drill+ some screws. I mean the steel is definitely nicer, but for the poor man who is doing a body weight workout for good reason it works fine lol
500 aud , man that is quite a lot of money a gym membership is around 365dollars year. why so expensive? no wonder why aussie houses are the most expensive houses in the world, to make just that 500 aus dollars, imagine building a house!!
You might be able to use wooden posts... and just nail square sheets of metal into it on the sides and weld the bar to that to stop it spinning! How much did this cost?
Did you? I don't have a nice bright and dry backyard like Daniel here. I live in Virginia so the weather is always rain, hot, dry, etc. I guess if I came up with $450 I might, but I'm 16 and don't have a job yet so I doubt ill be getting this soon haha. I just recently got a power tower with a pullup/dip bar on it so that'll last me.
Hey, I work in a O'Neill beachclub in Belgium and we would like to make some pull up bars at the beach near to the club. Now what's the best option (in your opinion) to secure the beams in the sand? Of course it has to be solid! I would use wooden beams btw. We count on you. ;)
Thanks for the tutorial! Can't really build one in my country here, haha. I live in a high rise building, so no backyard for me, hahaha. But good information for me anyways!
Out of wanting to build one similar, I've come across your video, much appreciated. Do you know if you could swing giants with this set-up, has anyone swung giants on your pull up bar? Would you need to go deeper in the foundations? thanks
