Make Your Own Pull Up Bar Outside

Having more room to do certain movements like muscle ups or just being able to soak in the sun and hear the birds singing as you do your pull ups.

Make your own pull up bar outside.

If you don t have access to the iron pins you can buy longer beams dig a hole and attach them with concrete screw the first beam to the iron pin using the hex screws and the ratchet wrench. Dig square holes 10 inch x 10 inch ensuring that the marks you made in the ground are in the middle of the holes. A pull up bar that will last longer suite your needs and save you some money in the process. Use your wrench to tighten as needed.

Knock the first iron pin in the ground using the hammer and the short piece of wood. Space the holes 4 ft 1 2 m apart or the length of the steel bar you plan on using for your pull up bar. Dig a pair of 3 ft 0 91 m deep holes in your yard. These are dependent on the height of your garage ceiling and how you want to set up your pull up bar.

Insert shorter pipes into elbows so that they form a right angle to the longer bar. If you have 12 foot posts and two foot holes and your ground is level then you need to cut off about 18 inches to have your bar at 8 feet. Set buckets inside the holes to test their size. You can make a pull up bar yourself.

Mark on the ground 5 ft apart where you want the posts for your pull up bar. To attach the other end we need to get a little more graceful. Insert one 90 degree elbow into each end of the long bar. These holes should be about 3 ft deep for 10 ft posts or 3 4 ft deep for 11 ft posts.

Because this is a fixed system we can t just screw the other side into the remaining 90 degree elbow. Depending on the room you have available you can either make a over the door model or a ceiling mounted model. You want to have a small jump to reach the bar but not an all out leap. Make each hole big enough to hold a 5 us gal 19 l plastic bucket.

Pull out that 36 inch bar and thread it into either of the available elbows.
