    This DIY Freestanding Outdoor Pull-Bar is made out of 2x6s and 2x4s with a 4-foot long 3/4" steel pipe for the pull up bar. This is an easy DIY fitness project that only requires a circular saw and drill to make.

      Hello there, I have built this following your video but I'm stuck as I do not know if I should buy a pipe with threaded endings as the pipe flanges are threaded, or should I sand down the inner thread on the flanges?

    I built this yesterday. Used pressure treated so it could last outdoors and skipped the painting. I used 1 inch black pipe and a 1 3/8 spade bit to go through the wood then attached the flanges from the outside using 1/4 lag screws. The flanges do not reverse (face inward) so I had to make a countersink in the wood to accept a small raised area around the flange threads. I didn't have a larger spade bit so I used a palm router to make the lip. turned out great. I am going to add a short cross piece to each side of the "A" for easier transport and small cleats inside so my kids can step up to reach the bar. Great ,quick project, about $75 total and done in less than 90 minutes (with kids as helpers).

    Nice job, I've been thinking about building one of these. From my experience building swings and tree houses for my kids, I would also consider using some galvanized carriage bolds (maybe 5/16) to hold the main structure together (stronger than deck screws).

  • @Xentrick
    @Xentrick 5 лет назад +12

    Awesome simple and effective design. Looks like you made sure it was really strong. A little tip to make the pull-up attachment even stronger. Those flanges will receive a lot of stress and torque, I've seen them worm their way out of the supports. So, drill through the support rails and attach the flanges on the outside with the stem inside the wood hole.

  • @yishujia186
    @yishujia186 5 лет назад +190

    I think the the way you install the steel bar is not sturdy enough. Just 4 small screws go into the wood on each side? This is not going to last long. I recommend drilling two big holes on the wood and let the steel bar go all the way through them. Then, install two flanges on the outside to lock the bar in place.

    • @johncruz7923

    Very nice. Though the bar placement seemed the weakest part by far on this build. I would have added little over 3" to the bar length and run it through the top of the A frame pieces and had it lock into the flanges on the outside. Far great weight capacity, not relying on screws. Subbed.

    Great video. Great build.
    Insha Allah I'm going to use this pattern to make mine only difference is I'm going to make my higher so I don't have to bend my legs when I do pullups. I like to dangle when I do pullups, I like for the bar to be so high that I have to jump to grab it. I can focus more on my pull and not on having my legs bent and thats what doing pullups is all about.
    Great vid tho.

    • @GenePavlovsky
      @GenePavlovsky 3 года назад

      Being tall, I have to bend my legs at almost all street pull-up bars. It's such a good feeling to find a really high one and focus 100% on the pullups, like you said!
      That said, if you have to jump to grab the bar, it won't be so easy to pick it up and move it (like in the video). Not an issue if you have a permanent place where it is going to stand.

    The physics in this structure is basic but beautiful

    Nice job. I would rather use that rhino liner paint for the bar tho. It would add grip.

    Nice build...but I would have drilled holes at the top of the uprights for the bar to protrude through and securde with the flanges on the outer face of the uprights for additional rigidity and strength. Otherwise it looks great.

    Bicycle handlebar wraps could be a nice upgrade.

    I'm gonna use an old swing set (childrens swing) and just put some timber around the base and spray it a cool colour

    This doesn't look too hard, even for a girl like me. I might wanna try it!

    I just made this for my boys and they love it. But it has a fair amount of sway near the top if they wiggle much (and they do). Any ideas to reinforce it?

    If you were doubling the length of the bar to 8ft what extra reinforcement would you recommend

      I think it wouldn't matter with regards to the wooden frame. The long bar will sag a lot more, though, so up the diameter and/or wall thickness of the bar itself.
