These posts eventually rot out in the ground, especially if you get a lot of rain. If you burn/scorch the bottoms of the posts, before you put them in the concrete, this helps preserve the wood. It's a process called 'Shou Sugi Ban', the Japanese have been doing for centuries. It can make the wood last 100 years without treatment.
Or you just pour the concrete without the posts, but with post brackets that have a 1" standoff. Or they make sleeves that go over the posts and protect them that way. Pole structures are made all 3 ways but they don't burn the bottoms, probably because it's not as professional. Posts aren't going to rot out in the concrete in a few years or anything like that, though, it takes decades.
Excellent video. Subscribed. Really great attention to detail. Spending time respectfully answering questions from your crew and managing the inevitable mistakes is value added.
Awesome video! Pole barn builders will do similar by driving big nails into the bottom of the post to hold better. Predrilling and driving those lags seems like a lot of work.
Thank you so much guys! I am building my outdoor gym this Spring with inspiration and expertise from your video..I have looked around at different gym stations and nothing comes close to what you gentlemen created..Stay strong and Healthy brothers
Great video. I def enjoyed it. Thanks Gabo, keep up the great work. I'm suffering from a muscle imbalance and I feel like this works very well. As well as the power yoga you did. I'm very right in certain places and I'm enjoying this journey to become more flexible. I'm going g to do this 4 to 5 times a week. ❤❤❤❤
I know you are mainly into calesthenics, but you are an excellent builder and even better at making construction videos. One of the best DIY videos I ever saw.
I built my pullup bar at 9 foot so I could use it for suspension training too. I'm only 5'7" so I had to install rock wall climbing holds. I want to add on to it so I have a setup like yours!
This was awesome. A suggestion that would require a little more planning up front maybe but would be less expensive and stronger is rather than using flanges and having to thread pipes... get a bit that will dril 1 1/4 holes...drill a blind hole in one post,a thorugh hole in the other... once everything is set up right run the pipe through the through hole and into the blind hole and then use a 1 1/4 dowel to plug the through hole gluing it in to hold the pipe. This would save quite a bit of dough in flanges, the bit isn't going to be terribly cheap but it can be used for other projects, the holes will be enormously stronger than flanges and you won't have to worry about your screws eventually rotting and a flange failing.
Rajib Banerjee I don’t have a video. The drilling is straightforward with a drill press, drill guide or just good drilling skill. Making the plug is straightforward if you can get your hands on a dowel of the right thickness. Just cut a piece longer than you need... glue it in... surface cut it near plane and then sand it
This will fit in a normal backyard. I have one in my neighborhood. Small gated community. Just ignore all the space around the bars. Also, you only need one or two pull up bars and you can customize your set up based on need and space requirements. Even 1 bar is fine you know.
Nice work Brother! I noticed a vertical crack in the initial dip bar at 19:09-19:22. Strong work and only commenting about the crack to keep it safe! Again strong exceptional work. One of these will be going in my back yard!
I was sad because I don't have a fucking yard but this made my day 😆👏 and then, "that should keep you nice and stable" Damn! Now I can only hear double-entendre phrases in this vid.
I've been asking my local council to provide a public setup, here in Scotland. The last small one, nearby, cost £9000, so they're not very keen! Here is a method that can be done in a council workshop, so I'm hopeful....... Good, useful video. Thanks.
All good, but learn plumb first. Test (an upright surface) to determine the vertical. Learn to use that level for vertical corrections. Plumb the first post and this project goes much faster, easier, and comes out better. Nice video. Thank you for your time.
Biggest thing that sucks about gyms is the air borne illnesses... Ive had respiratory illnesses twice this year. Once before they closed due to COVID and another once they opened back up. Sucks!
Really good video and a good idea about the bolts in the ground to grab the concrete. I'm building one in my garden in January just ordered the pipes which are 1 inch and a half diameter is this the right size roughly or should I have gone bigger
ey thanks for the video. i`m about to build something like that, but im a bit concerned about the wood rotting in the ground. did u do anything with it to impregnate it? are your experiences, that it just doesnt rott inside the concrete?we have a very loamy soil here, so when it rains it stays wet for ages... u got problems with the wood rott within the ground?thanks, in case u answer me, and thanks anyways for the video.
Wow what an art work ! this is a great project for quarantine ! how did you make the monkey bar and the corner of the monkey bar which looks like steps ?
Thanks for the tutorial- Question- Is there any major problems with using the flanges if you do not have access to a fabricator or welder? Thanks again guys, very inspirational !
This is just gorgeous, BUT it would rot after 2-4 years where I live. XD I suggest to use impact sleeves (is this how it's called in english? That's what google translate told me. XD). You know, those metal things you put into the ground and screw the wood to. :) I'll definitely build something like yours in my backyard. I need to regain my health and loose several kilos. When I was a child I did ballet and could do handstand in the rings just at the first try and jumped 1,30m high when I was only about 1,50m...and now there is nothing left but excess weight and sore knees. Enough is enough...I quit my job and my first priority is my health now. :) Really can't wait to build something like this for me. :D
Do not do what i did been digging for 8 fucking hours made my hole to far apart so just widened them alot hope i can get it to work i have determination may have to use extra concrete making a pullup bar for now thank you for the informative information has helped so far
Its his natural voice, thanks for the view. A tip for affordable higher ring set up that we use is finding old telephone poles lying on side of road, replaced very frequently and typically, they allow you to pick up at no charge.
@@imuscleup Telephone poles?... I've never seen one replaced. Never seen a new one... I've tried stuff like that before. When I wanted a battle rope I called every fire department for an old/damaged hose. Twist it up, tape it, and you got a heavy ass rope. No luck though... Idk who I'd call about a light pole lol.
Hey guys great video. In the video he mentioned how high to put the pull up bars and dip bars but not the distance between posts. In other words, how long are the dip bars and how wide are the pull up bars? Any reasons for these specific lengths? Thanks!!
There are specific lengths. Too short it doesn’t give you room to do many tricks. Too long, it bends and can mess up your set up due to permanent bend. The thickness of pipe also matters. We go over all of that in home depot.
We pull out the tape measure from center to center to measure gap for dip bars. Thats how far the bars are apart. Its included later in the bar build as well. Typically with the pull up bar though. 6 ft is as long as you want to go.
@@imuscleup Thanks for the info on the length of the pull up bar. I watched the video again and he does mention to cut the pull up bar in half but doesn't mention the length of the dip bars. He does say how far apart (width center to center) to put the 3 dip bars and that the bars will have to be cut and re-threaded but not how long they should be or what length to cut them down down to. If you could pass on the length of the dip bars, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!!
Great video👍 those 6x6x12's are special order at the lowes and home depot out here. Im only putting up a pull-up bar for muscle ups no transfers. Do you think the 4x6x10s would work instead of 6x6x10s? Thanks
@@imuscleup Thanks, yeah we actually got some 6×6s by 10s at the lumber yard and set them the other day with 360 pounds of sakrete per hole. You say a whole month let the concrete dry before testing the bar out?
Great! And now… what if you’re only one person, want the park , but also want it to be multifunctional?! And Esthetically pleasing?! Or even…stealth… as if you would not have guessed it was there?!… how would that look like? Something that looks like a Pergola, washingline and greenhouse but actually is an outdoor calisthenics park? Any examples?
Its hard to do and takes time and discipline practicing the sport to be able to do with precision and flow, sort of like a drift car racer sliding around a corner, to some it may seem he is showing off, however he has taken a lot of time crafting the skill and precision to do that specific skill.

jesus
@@hatdog-zc3vz Which one?...
Let's be real, you won't be using the bars by the time they rot.
In NC treated wood lasts for around 7yrs in the ground. Spend the extra money and it will last much longer 👍🏻
This guy explains the use of tools and building concepts better than some actual builders do on their videos
Seriously. I have been searching for info on how to do this and this is the best video I've seen yet.
except a 6x6 isn't 6" x 6", it's 5.5" x 5.5"
@@otallono even if it was, it would be "5.5x5.5"
Excellent video. Subscribed. Really great attention to detail. Spending time respectfully answering questions from your crew and managing the inevitable mistakes is value added.
One of the coolest and best do it yourself videos I have watched!
I would premix your concrete, it is more work but it assures that your concrete has proper amount of water and cures more consistent.
Thankyou for the deep details, made this so much more inviting and approachable task to undertake. Can’t want to attempt
Please do more projects, guys :-D You guys got a sub. Thank you so much. I'm looking to build my own calisthenics park soon.
🔥🔥🤙🏼
This is a terrific video tutorial. Very informative and thorough. Thank You!
Thx brother.... i now have my dimension becuase of your guide... salute to you 👊👍🏼🤙💪😎
Very enjoyable and helpful video. You guys have not done any compromise in quality of work and material. Great job!!! I am going to build my soon.

Awesome and with everything clearly explained 😬
nice build. simple an easy to follow
Damn that front lever to muscle up and reverse on the home depot bar was super smooth
6"x6"x12' are $46 at my Home Depot.... wonder why? Thumbs up!!! you are using flanges and lags!!! Best pull-up bar how to video out there.
The best video ever thank you!
My wife is going to love this in her backyard...
💯💯💯💯 ours do!
Especially the kiddos!
Dude! That is Awesumo!
Good work fellas💪🏋️♂️
Oh My God……...…......very good
Well done
thank you to live on this earth

Awesome calisthenics park, fellas. Dude's a good presenter too.
Thanks for your kind feedback! We appreciate the view!
Great stuff, thanks!
One last touch would be post caps (I bought mine from Atlanta Post Caps). They look pretty nice on pullup bars.
I just want one pull up bar...lmao
No kidding
I started with a door pull up bar.
Then just skip the other stuff and just watch the pull up bar part
Excellent Vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the tips man! Mine’s going up soon!
Great work! Спасибо
Sou do Brasil e acompanhei seu projeto. Parabéns vocês me inspiraram a começar. Obrigado. Sucesso.
❤️❤️🔥
you explained the best
What's up buddy, awesome video thank you for uploading
No problem Scott!
Thanks bro very helpful
I like how you have a big RUclips community and put in effort to like and reply to comments p.s. any kid friendly tips for these builds

That's a great advise. Do you have a video that shows drilling a hole through the wood and then covering the rear end of the metal pipe ?
Rajib Banerjee I don’t have a video. The drilling is straightforward with a drill press, drill guide or just good drilling skill. Making the plug is straightforward if you can get your hands on a dowel of the right thickness. Just cut a piece longer than you need... glue it in... surface cut it near plane and then sand it
Or another inexpensive way is to use scraps of rebar (maybe from a concrete slab job) or the old fashion tent pegs instead of flanges
Good job my man
Thank you so much! I convinced my dad to chip in with me and pay for half of it! Time to build my pull-up bar/parallel gym park!
Did you ever get it finished. Id like to see someone who followed this guide and how their park turned out.
very nice and practical
iMuscleUp: "How to build your own Calisthenics Park in your Yard."
iMuscleUp: Has a small country for a yard.
This will fit in a normal backyard. I have one in my neighborhood. Small gated community. Just ignore all the space around the bars. Also, you only need one or two pull up bars and you can customize your set up based on need and space requirements. Even 1 bar is fine you know.

NEXT TIme do european
measuring unit :D
Got a helluva workout just hauling that concrete around.
Awesome video. If I could make a suggestion. You can take a long string make the string every 24 inches staple it and measure. Good job.
Thanks man!
This is a very rock callisthenics 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

Great video!
Thanks man!
@@imuscleup Can ask you, what is the life expectancy of the wood after you sprayed it?
Amazing video. How long are the dip bars post installation?
I know this vid is from a few years back but I just wanted to say I really appreciate the lack of music in this.
I am able to build mine.. :)
0:58 paradise😍😂
Biggest thing that sucks about gyms is the air borne illnesses... Ive had respiratory illnesses twice this year. Once before they closed due to COVID and another once they opened back up. Sucks!
You could use rebar through the wood down in the hole to hold onto the cement it would save you some money , nice build fellas
That would be real smart😏
Really good video and a good idea about the bolts in the ground to grab the concrete. I'm building one in my garden in January just ordered the pipes which are 1 inch and a half diameter is this the right size roughly or should I have gone bigger

We don’t know how to create a soundtrack yet.
Instead of measuring from center to center its alot easier to measure from same side to same side.
Definitely multiple ways to do same thing. Thanks for the view

Something that looks like a Pergola, washingline and greenhouse but actually is an outdoor calisthenics park?
Any examples?
Does someone has the total costs?
Can someone explain to me what the point of doing the 360 spin is? Honestly just curious. Is it to show explosive strength?
Its hard to do and takes time and discipline practicing the sport to be able to do with precision and flow, sort of like a drift car racer sliding around a corner, to some it may seem he is showing off, however he has taken a lot of time crafting the skill and precision to do that specific skill.
Can you please tell me how long you made each pull up bar Thanks
It is mentioned in the video. You can make them between 4-6 ft
