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).
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.
I like the holes you drilled to hold the pipe, rather than floor flanges for it. You saved about $14 by using glue and screws to hold the bar securely.
Awesome job! I just built a modified version of this with a squat rack on the front! Had to move the front bottom support back 16 inches, then add a vertical support next to the front 2x6, which I am using to attach 2x4s to hold the barbell
After seeing a lot of videos, this is the best one so far and it’s a two in one. I finished building a dip stand yesterday and will start making my squat rack today. I have plenty of wood I just need the bolts.All this is on account of the Covid-19.
Material @ Quantity 8 ft 2x6 @ 4 4 ft 2x4 @ 4 48.5 in 2x4 @ 2 54.5 in 2x4 @ 2 pipe flanges @ 2 4 ft metal pipe @ 1 box in 3 in screws @ 1 box of 3.5 in screws @ 1 Tools: Power saw, drill, marker, sawhorse (optional), paint (optiona) *When I built it, I had to make a few adjustments different from the video. These are the materials I used. The angles of my A-frame were 62.7, 62.7, and 54.6
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.
@@dontbestalkingmyprofile That wasn't confusing. He's suggesting running the bar through the frame on each side and putting caps on the end to hold it in place.
This is stronger, but leaves little room for error when drilling holes for the bar. So unless it's done very carefully, the bar might end up not level.
You know, every time I see a new video from HomeMadeModern my soul does a little happy dance. Good project and you are not older, I am, but I make up for it by being really immature.
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.
Hey man this turned out great but I thought it will be on your deck in your loft place. This backyard looks huge - a place to be filled with lots of projects
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.
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.
This is a great staring point. I’d put the bar through the woods though for better weight distribution and support. I’d also use wood glue in addition to the screws.
I would wrap the bar with athletic tape. The paint on on the bar during high rep sets or when slick will become slippery and possibly cause your hands to rip. Grip tape or padded horse stall tape would help address the issue.
I like this idea, I can place it at the corner of the driveway, it won't detract from the look of the yard, get a lot of use out of it and if I change my mind or want to upgrade, it's easily moved or even sold.
Nice job! I'm curious to see how this paint holds up outside. If you're anything like me, when I have something readily available, I'm not likely to use it...and that includes exercise.
Ben, Any chance you can post some diagrams on your site? I'm very interested in building this but since I'm 6'3" and I notice that you have your knees bent I'm interested if you have a formula or recommendations that would allow someone of my height to calculate how big a frame I'd need to build so I could do a dead hang pull up with no bend in the knees.
Don't use bolts anyway, just buy good screws such as grk, I would also consider using nails in some joints in this as this project requires shear strength resistance.
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.
If I had wanted to watch a fracture ad, I would have clicked a fracture link. I pay for premium to avoid ads. I don’t need them snuck into videos as sponsors. You do you...and I’ll decide if I stay around. Nice build by the way.
russell brass yea there’s two types of people the people who will slack on times like this and the other breed that surprisingly thrives in times like this.
I think you can do it, just do the exercise with the straps angle going not too far away from vertical (pulling the bar straight down or at a shallow angle). The more you go sideways, the more likely the bar will start tilting or even fall over. It would help to weigh down the bottom of the frame with something, e.g. sandbags. Ideally, anchor the frame to the ground if you have the possibility.
Current cost for the wood, flanges, and 1-1/4" black pipe (not including screws, paint, or tax) is $113 at Home Depot. That's not bad for a solid outdoor rack. That said, Rogue offers a very nice above-door pull up bar for about $135 including shipping.

Could you attach to a 4 x 6 frame that is wider than the base and throw plates on it to add more weight/stability for kipping pull ups? Also, how tall are you?
So i made this about a year ago and i did it with a handsaw (works :)). Unfortunately i made a mistake during the process, so its now 2,60mtr high! Haha, my wife cant use it without a step and i need to jump quite high, but still.. Amazing tutorial!
Planning to start building this tomorrow but I'll have to buy the wood. Excluding the bar is it true that I will need 4 2x6x8 and 5 2x4x8 assuming there are no mistakes?
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?
@@sultanheart you've been deceived. Muhammad was told to go to the people of "the Book". Muhammad was attacked by a demon and was encouraged by pagans that he was talked to by God. Islam is a made up religion promoted by Muhammad. This is the truth. Jesus forgives sins. And cannot lie... Allah... Is the greatest of all deceivers. Why trust this made up religion?
If you’re going to go to the trouble of making a pull up bar then why not make it high enough so you don’t have to bend your legs when you use it? Being able to straighten your legs makes a big difference to form and how many reps you can do.
You can do this without the saw. The cuts at the top are just to be fancy and the bottom cuts aren’t needed if you use angle brackets to attach the middle spacers (especially if you are going to use this on grass). Home Depot will generally cut the wood for you if it is basic cuts for length. This makes the supply list: 4 8 foot boards, 2 8 foot boards cut half (so 4 4 foot boards), angle brackets, the bar with flanges, and a bunch of wood screws.
Tom Forge Fair enough, although for a small project like this a hand saw should be more than enough because where I am HD has stopped offering cutting services due to COVID
You can manage with a swiss army knife, probably - it will just take longer. Seriously, if you DIY, you obviously have to get some tools and skills. There's absolutely no need for expensive equipment. A vintage brace&bits from a garage sale or eBay can handle drilling and screwdriving. It's not as slow as it sounds, if the bits are sharp (anyway, it's useful to learn to sharpen knives and tools). A hand saw can do all the cuts, once again it has to be sharp, don't expect to have a good time with an old rusty dull saw. Of course you need materials to make anything, isn't that kinda obvious? It's true that if you consider the cost of materials and your time, sometimes it's cheaper to buy a ready-made product that comes from a country with cheap labor. But when you make it yourself, you can customize it the way you want, and if something breaks, you already know how to fix it.
It's actually cheaper to just buy a metal one. 4 2x6 = $32 1 4 foot 3/4 steel pipe = $30 8 2x4 = $27 2 3/4 pipe flange = $12 1 box 2-1/2 inch screws = $7 1 1 gallon Blue Edge Exterior Paint = $51 That is $159 assuming you already have something to cut wood, power drill, and a paint roller excluding tax Metal pull up bar stands are generally cheaper ($70 sometimes) and usually have extra handles for many different exercises
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.
I want to construct a pull up bar station in my backyard, but I live in the desert. It gets up to 120f during the Summer and touching anything metal feels like the devil spitting acid on your hand. I dont want to wear gloves or put shade up over the bar, so is there a material I can use instead of metal that would help? Or even painting the bar white? Anyone with experience with this?
Hi, I just made this and it is able to hold my weight (70kg/154.324 pounds). The only problem is that the frame itself move side to side a little bit. Anyone knows hoy to stabilize it?

4 small screws can hold a lot
Alternatively, why not have the vertical beams cross and lay the bar across the middle? No concern about screws failing, but less aesthetic perhaps
@@DeepSketch good idea!

Is it possible to build this 10ft high with the same design?
Instead of 2x6s can you jist use use 2x4s all around?
Bicycle handlebar wraps could be a nice upgrade.
Nowadays, being first comment is most likeable ,and most important thing.
How many 2x4's did you use for this project?
I think 8 different cuts? Two for the base of each side wall, and two for each perpendicular base connection.
How high is the bar?
Do you have a materials and tools list you can share? I searched your website and couldn't find this pull-up bar on it.
Excellent Thanks
Fantastic! I wanna build one now
How much did it cost?
This!
Where to buy the bar
How tall did your pull up bar actually come out to?
It doesn’t have the full material list .
It's actually cheaper to just buy a metal one.
4 2x6 = $32
1 4 foot 3/4 steel pipe = $30
8 2x4 = $27
2 3/4 pipe flange = $12
1 box 2-1/2 inch screws = $7
1 1 gallon Blue Edge Exterior Paint = $51
That is $159 assuming you already have something to cut wood, power drill, and a paint roller excluding tax
Metal pull up bar stands are generally cheaper ($70 sometimes) and usually have extra handles for many different exercises
Is it the same steps if you do it 6feets instead of 8?
Will this be too short for someone who is 6' tall with long arms?
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.
How tall is this? Pls answer ASAP
Great work Ben!!
