Body Row and Dip Bars - How to Build

My website: woodspirit.net/
Link to tools I use: woodspirit.net... I built these using 3/4" black pipe:
4 @ 36"
2 @ 48"
4 - 90 degree elbows
4 - floor flanges
4 - 2 x 4s cut to 26" each
16 - #14 screws 1 1/2" long
Cost was about $67 and with a rebate from the store it was about $60.

I've been watching a few different DIY dip bar videos for ideas and this is the best!
1. You give all the specifics and yet the video is still under 10 min
2. These work for several exercises, are customizable, and moveable!
Thanks so much!

My dip bars is an old walker my neighbor threw out when they moved.

This is simple straightforward and serves multi purposes , thank you for the great video. Good job.

Cool! The ideal space between the p-bars is the tips of your fingers to your elbow. That's usually the highest comfort and safetly to power ratio.

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

Good to know! Thanks.

[@one3DoiNWoRk]

so measure the tip of my finger to my elbow and that is how far the bars should be apart

[@Ace-zb5xr]

@@one3DoiNWoRk Yep. Unless you're doing something special like Maltese.

[@one3DoiNWoRk]

@@Ace-zb5xr thanks

I appreciate this video, but the cost of construction materials used in this video (piping, fittings, floor flanges, etc) cost significantly more than buying a set of standing dip bars.

I've looked high and low for a single bar for body/inverted rows and all they sell are pairs of dip bars that are too narrow for wide rows. This is perfect.
Cheers.

$67 is a steal!
I live in central California, and the local Home Depot sells the 3/4" Dia, 4' long black pipe for $20 each.
For just the pipe and fittings for this exact build (3/4" dia) would come out to $140 before taxes.

[@AdamEadens]

That was my first thought, too.

[@edrey4998]

Excelent job my friend.

[@theunclemanny8086]

Good idea. Thanks.

[@theshark84724]

What about putting a soft rubber around the bars for some cushioning?

[@thesharingan1571]

Happy womans day then 😝

[@one3DoiNWoRk]

how about a table next to it for your soy latte machine

[@lurklingX]

WOW has cost gone up. it's cheaper to just buy a set of the $99 ones i had my eye on.... (yellow :) )

[@aloisth.5031]

very nice

[@santiagosteven6105]

Would this be a good squat rack to make for ?

[@cooldevansh1]

They seem a little wobbly. How to reduce it?

[@dyip32]

I haven't built it yet, but some say if you pack the pipes with sand, it can help.

[@lurklingX]

just do an H-frame for the foot. so, basically adding another piece on each end that is perpendicular to the foot he shows on his. hence, the name H shape. literally the orientation of how the wood is oriented. :)

[@rainynight02]

Just made this thinking it'd be a good height for a pushup bar to transition to, hella too high! 😭😭😭 Should have gone down at least a foot!
Will still be okay for body weight rows though.. if I can fix the tipping issue I had. Apparently I messed something up.

[@gajsenju4483]

👍

[@tompvic]

Do you sell those?

[@tompvic]

Would like to buy that.

[@itsoddish2128]

just buy a dip station offline at that point
