Thanks for the design! only modifications i made was swapping the lower triangles supports for metal book shlef brackets and i had to use a 60" bar as the vertical beams can extend outward. it would definitely need some sand bags if youre trying to do anything crazy but this is great for my back yard. thank you
i did it!! i built it in my apartment :) my neighbours probably hated all the drilling and sawing but i fuckin built it!! wooh thanks for the instructions. my build is kinda wobbly but i hope itll hold up :DDD
Best DIY pull up solution I've seen! Love it! HOw did you calculate the angles - was that based on the length of the vertical planks and trying to get the pull up bar to be at a center of mass?
Would this be sturdy enough to use for chest to bar, butterfly pull ups, and toes to bar, since there's a lot more forceful movement than doing strict pull up's?
Trying this myself right now and I'm so lost, think I messed up on my cuts. Something ain't adding up. I'm getting really confused on step 1 and step 2,seem like my pieces are uneven. Is the. 15 angled cut for the blue and green at the top or bottom connected to the red
Holy shit i might need to do this for my backyard lol. I have concrete titles in my backyard so i cant drill a hole in the ground so maybe this would be a good solution
Hey do you think you can send me an email for the scaled up version? I'm 6'1 and I would prefer more at the bottom. I am super interested in your design and how to you broke everything down.
Hi! Awesome build! How tall are you and how tall is the final outcome? I'm 6ft3 and would like to hang straight arm without touching the ground... are these measurements good for me?
I'm 5'10" and can hang straight armed with about two inches to spare. From the center of the bar to the ground is 7'9". I would guess your toes would touch the ground. This could be fixed by spending a little more and buying 10ft 2 by 4s to increase the height.
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 Should i buy all the other pieces with your intial measurements you think? Will i need to make adjustments to your calculations?
@@ides33316 I would scale up the entire design slightly if you want to increase the height. If you send me an email @ rafael.ellis.rech@gmail.com I can send you a scaled-up diagram
Thanks! It’s really sturdy for all the workouts I do. If you wanted even more assurance you could add sand bags on the base but I have not seen the need.
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 Thanks! Again, awesome build. I've been scouring the internet for pull up bar builds and no one has broken it down like you have.
Thanks for watching! The weight is being transferred into the ground through the 2 by 4 structure. The weakest link is likely the shear strength of the screws.
Don't know a thing about using tools so I'm pretty sure I'm going to mess this up but I'm going to try anyway lol. Last thing my garage gym needs is a pull up bar and dip bar. I do wonder how you cut the 45 degree angle pieces, I wish you showed that.
I used a small chop saw to Make the angled cuts. It’s could easily be done with just a circular saw and a framing square or angle gage just would take a little more time.
Stefano Cuter Nope not for the pull ups and chin ups I do. If you want to make it extra secure look at 5:04 where I add some brackets to make it even more secure for muscle ups
Low key a fantastic video. Simple and easy.

Excellent work and great video! Thanks for outlining the process and materials
Awesome, simple and effective. That's all we need to start the pull up routine. Anything else and is just getting things too complicated
Thanks for watching it’s helped me with my personal fitness!
we are men, we don't need to spend money on needless luxuries when we can simply build it ourselves,
may your back be ripped and your abs be chiseled,
you are awesome -- thanks so much! doing this tomorrow!
Im pretty sure you said 48" but did you by any chance say 40" inch metal pipe?
Very concise and easy to understand. Thanks
I know a gentleman who is going to be super jelly when I send him this video.
Nice! I like it tho
i did it!! i built it in my apartment :) my neighbours probably hated all the drilling and sawing but i fuckin built it!! wooh
thanks for the instructions. my build is kinda wobbly but i hope itll hold up :DDD
That’s awesome I hope it work well for you! If you need to you can always add larger 45 degree supports to make it stronger and have less wiggle!
Your neighbors will get over it lol 😆
I made this. Thanks for the design.
Cranjis McBasketball II Happy I could help. Hope serves you well.
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 yes it has been. I use it for gymnastic rings and teeter gravity boots. Thanks.
Best DIY pull up solution I've seen! Love it! HOw did you calculate the angles - was that based on the length of the vertical planks and trying to get the pull up bar to be at a center of mass?
Thanks, just finished building! Used pressure treated wood so wouldn't have to worry.
Nice! Hope it serves you well.
Would this be sturdy enough to use for chest to bar, butterfly pull ups, and toes to bar, since there's a lot more forceful movement than doing strict pull up's?
gTeknikal I think so but I would make the diagonal supports larger and add some sand bags!
How did you fix the pipe so it wouldn´t spin...?
appreciate the blueprint!~
Thank you for making this video. Do you know around how heavy this build would be and if it would be portable?
Jimmy Huang I would say it is about 20 lbs and able to be moved pretty easily with two people. Moving it alone is doable but awkward.
You could screw casters on one side (literally the side not bottom) so when you tip it you would have wheels
@@darknessfierce4209 you just solved my portability questions!!! Right on man!!! 👍✌
make one dips bar plz.good job keep it up
Would you be able to provide written instructions?
Is this stable sideways?
Nice job dude!
Thanks for watching!
Great Video! Thank you so much

The blue sits on top of the red, screw it together with the yellow piece, the green rests next to the red
@@ryanwheeler8418 you mean like green on the side of red? At least that what it looks like in the video
The angles they give are not adding up to it looking like theirs for me either
I’m just lining up the pieces and drawing lines as best I can. To get the height I want for where I’m setting the bar,
@@angelgracia6308 yea I just ended up building mine a different way. I like how it came out.

Justin McClendon sure shoot me an email at Rafael.Ellis.Rech@gmail.com
what kind of wood?
Any pressure treated 2 by 4s would get the job done. I believe the most common woods used here are Douglas fir, hemlock, and pine.

Is 25 screws enough? Thx so much
David Zhao you’ll need around 50 screws in total!
Rafael Ellis-Rech thx so much
Rafael Ellis-Rech do you have a link for the metal framing plates?

Where is the bulk of the weight of this pull up bar structure? So it is safe to do the pull ups on?

@@rafaelellis-rech6950 I think I've done something completely wrong with the angle cuts, wood doesn't lay on the red piece smooth like yours
About how tall are you guys? Need to see if and how much adjustment to the height I might need.
Garrett Terrell I’m 5’10” and can hang with about and inch or two at the bottom. Let me know if you need adjusted plans!
how tall is the original design and the larger one
Original gives you about 7.5 feet of height and I scaled one up to be 8.5 feet of height!
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 can you please make a video building a 8.5 feet version please
@@mistaoutcome9936 I can send you plan for it some design just cut your lumber to different lengths
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 allright then that's fine it would be better if you could make a video so multiple people could see it but who am I to say
@@mistaoutcome9936 check out the link in the description on the last page of the plans there is the larger cut lengths shown!
home depot will cut the wood for you if you bring them the dimensions you need, then you just pay for the wood you need :D
That’s true! Good way to save some time
Great point.
do they do the specified angle cuts too on the ends?
great content, keep it up!
Nice
Does the bar roll around?
Stefano Cuter Nope not for the pull ups and chin ups I do. If you want to make it extra secure look at 5:04 where I add some brackets to make it even more secure for muscle ups
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 but I mean... If you try to spin the bar, does it move freely or does the friction with the wood block it?
Stefano Cuter The friction between the wood and the bar stops it from spinning!
@@rafaelellis-rech6950 Ok, thank You
I'm gonna just use an old childrens swing set and stick some timber around the base, spray it a cool colour maybe put some flame and shit on it 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
That works too!
This was not under $40 for me
How much was it
Just under $90 haha
@@mistaoutcome9936 just under $90
Gyms suck anyways no natural sunlight no fresh air. You don't need a gym to build muscle.
Exactly! Much better working out outside.
I sent you an email, thanks in advance :)
Cost way too much
How much
Sorry it was my mate, it wasn't that expensive, I live in Australia I believe it was 150 all up
You can even used reclaimed 2 by 4s if you want to bring the cost down further!
Great design! 👍🔥👍🔥 💪🔥💪🔥
