I was thining about putting a curtain on a bar to separate the kitchen frame from the dinning room, maybe I can put a metal bar there and use it also for exercising.
Your pull up bar , is really close to what i want to do. My only question is what do you use to make the U shaped holes to the 2 metallic parts? Is that some kind of drill? Or a specific drill compartment?
Did you ever figure out what the "barn door lock" thing is called? I didnt find anything like it at home depot and i have no idea what to look up online
Loved your video- thanks for posting! I want to install the same setup in my apartment and was thinking of using steel closet pole sockets instead of your metal lock pieces. What do you think?
To be honest, this idea crossed my mind, but checking them in the hardware store it looks like they will not hold, some of them are made with cast iron and others are with week welds. I suggest go in the hardware store and browse maybe there will be something that you might sue as alternative. When you installed it I recommend getting hanging shoes/gravity boots. Very good for bold circulation and for decompressing the spine and neck.
Thank you for the sharing. I have been thinking of installing a pull up bar in the hallway in my house, but not sure how best to proceed. Your video is very helpful. A couple of questions - (1) how wide is your hallway: (2) when you installed the brackets on both sides of the hallway, did you just screw into the drywall or there is a stud behind the drywall on both sides? Thanks again.
I just measured it and its 125cm /49". I am in a building complex, so the walls are brick walls. If you are doing it for your self, be sure you only screw into the stud, if you screw it on the drywall it won't hold at all. Thanks for watching, if you have more question let me know...glad to help.
If you don't have the tools. In almost every big hardware store they have a workshop you can pay a small amount to get access and do your project there. The one close to me charger something like 10EUR per hour, nice deal.
I am probably not sure if I understand? Are you referring to the wall or the anchors, The wall is a brick wall and the anchors are heavy duty, I think they can probably hold 300KG and more. I had developed a habit every time I pass by to jump on the bar and do few pull ups and it seems to be holding fine.
Hi Ed. Your DIY seems to fit what I want to do, but I am having a hard time finding your side metal things. Would you know the name, or and which area you found this at the hardware store? In locks department?
Hi kulnamja, I think they are called "U" Shaped Connector Bracket" usually they are in the sections where they sell the metal parts for woodworking, like braces, barn door hardware, etc. I think if you take a screenshot of mines and show it to someone that is working in the hardware store I believe they ill be able to help you.
Thanks for the comment. I would have to agree and disagree with you. In reality you only need a Drill and a hand saw if you don't have a Jig saw, witch most people usually do have. You can find a cheap drill and jigsaw together for under $40. But I agree if you don't have the tools buying tools for only doing one-off DIY project doesn't make sense. I myself, don't have many tools, but each time i want to make something and I need a tool I buy it and so one...slowly growing my tool collection.
smart idea! gonna steal some of that for my own doorway pullup bar build, thx for sharing
I am glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
I was just thinking to install somthing similar. thanks for this this much sumple and easy to do install
Glad I could help
Man this was a great tutorial. I was slacking waiting for a pull up to finally be available to buy, but after this I just made one like you did thanks
Thanks man! Glad this motivated you to build your own pull-up bar.

Very nice work bro💪💪
Thank you for the support, glad you liked it.
Nice one bro!
Thanks!
Your pull up bar , is really close to what i want to do. My only question is what do you use to make the U shaped holes to the 2 metallic parts? Is that some kind of drill? Or a specific drill compartment?
I am glad you liked my design. Its a drill for cutting holes in metal. You can find it in every hardware stores.
That good idea

@@thediyed Thanks for getting back to me.
@@thediyed im confused.... you said you drilled into the stud.... but you also used the anchor. Can I drill into my drywall and use the anchors?
I dont have these machine metal cutter. So frustrating

Nice video! Where did you get the straps?
Thanks! All of the stuff for this build I got from the local hardware store and I am sure you can find them in every hardware store or on amazon.
This is gold. 25$ including the tools?
Sir
Please tell me
Thickness of pipe?
how much weight can it take
I can tell you it can take a lot. I am 110KG and I was jumping on it to stress test it.
Gyprock anchors are supporting your entire weight?!

@@thediyed awesome thanks for the reply. I did screenshot your image. Appreciate all your help.
$25 dollar pull up bar if you $200 worth of tools.
