Make your own pull up bar outside. 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. You can make a pull up bar yourself. 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.

Space the holes 4 ft 1 2 m apart or the length of the steel bar you plan on using 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. Pull out that 36 inch bar and thread it into either of the available elbows. 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.

Remember with the flanges screwed into the posts your bar will be a few inches below the top of the posts. To attach the other end we need to get a little more graceful.

Dig a pair of 3 ft 0 91 m deep holes in your yard. Mark on the ground 5 ft apart where you want the posts for your pull up bar. I chose to go with the ceiling mounted model. Set buckets inside the holes to test their size.

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. Because this is a fixed system we can t just screw the other side into the remaining 90 degree elbow. Use your wrench to tighten as needed.

Dig square holes 10 inch x 10 inch ensuring that the marks you made in the ground are in the middle of the holes.
