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.

You want to have a small jump to reach the bar but not an all out leap. Insert one 90 degree elbow into each end of the long bar. Pull out that 36 inch bar and thread it into either of the available elbows. Knock the first iron pin in the ground using the hammer and the short piece of wood.

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. Set buckets inside the holes to test their size. A pull up bar that will last longer suite your needs and save you some money in the process.

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. 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. Depending on the room you have available you can either make a over the door model or a ceiling mounted model. I chose to go with the ceiling mounted model.

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. These holes should be about 3 ft deep for 10 ft posts or 3 4 ft deep for 11 ft posts. Remember with the flanges screwed into the posts your bar will be a few inches below the top of the posts.

Dig square holes 10 inch x 10 inch ensuring that the marks you made in the ground are in the middle of the holes. You can make a pull up bar yourself. Use your wrench to tighten as needed. Because this is a fixed system we can t just screw the other side into the remaining 90 degree elbow.
