Make Your Own Pull Up Bar Outside

Dig a pair of 3 ft 0 91 m deep holes in your yard.

Make your own pull up bar outside.

Use your wrench to tighten as needed. Here you will find the updated 2020 guide of the outdoor best pull up bars currently available on the market if you are like me and absolutely love working out outdoors you will know the freedom it brings. 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. Pull out that 36 inch bar and thread it into either of the available elbows.

These are dependent on the height of your garage ceiling and how you want to set up your pull up bar. Make each hole big enough to hold a 5 us gal 19 l plastic bucket. Because this is a fixed system we can t just screw the other side into the remaining 90 degree elbow. Insert shorter pipes into elbows so that they form a right angle to the longer bar.

A pull up bar that will last longer suite your needs and save you some money in the process. Insert one 90 degree elbow into each end of the long bar. Mark on the ground 5 ft apart where you want the posts for your pull up bar. 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.

Depending on the room you have available you can either make a over the door model or a ceiling mounted model. Dig square holes 10 inch x 10 inch ensuring that the marks you made in the ground are in the middle of the holes. To attach the other end we need to get a little more graceful. 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.

You want to have a small jump to reach the bar but not an all out leap. Knock the first iron pin in the ground using the hammer and the short piece of wood. These holes should be about 3 ft deep for 10 ft posts or 3 4 ft deep for 11 ft posts. I chose to go with the ceiling mounted model.

Remember with the flanges screwed into the posts your bar will be a few inches below the top of the posts.
