How to attach a pull up bar to the wall?

[naila123]

Hi all 

I am wanting to make the below pull up bar for my 8 month old baby. So she can practice standing.

For the bar I was going to buy the 12.7mm dowel. What sort of bracket can I use to attach it to the wall per below picture? The bracket can be metal, just want a secure attachment to the wall.

That's for that @Kingleviathan.

I can confirm that we don't stock any wall-attached rails that would be suitable for this, and certainly not any that are detachable.  Attaching large screw eyes or hooks directly into the timber studs would likely be the most sturdy mounting option for them.

I get the impression, 'King - Leviathan' @Kingleviathan is a muscular dude looking for a bar (that can be removed) for pull-ups or what I would call chin-ups.

The '90 thingy' seems to be specifically designed for this - and barbells.

Then again - I could be completely and utterly wrong. 😁

@Noyade I have the angles90 grip but its need to latch onto something...like a bar. That what im seeking to install

I repeat the question - you want this to support your body weight?

You're gonna lift yourself off the floor with the bar and grips?

[MitchellMc]

If you did want to create a bar @Kingleviathan that would support your body weight, you'd need to consider using something heavy-duty such as a couple of Brasshards Galvanised Round Flange With 25mm Drill Malls fixed in the studs or brick wall, then a couple of standoff Brasshards 25 x 100mm Galvanised Pipe sections, some Brasshards 25mm Galvanised Female And Female Elbows and then a Brasshards 25 x 600mm Galvanised Pipe for the bar.

Unfortunately, this wouldn't be a detachable arrangement.

Hi @Kingleviathan 

Mate - I haven't done a chin-up for 50 years. 😁

When I did, at home, it was a purpose built telescoping bar that fitted in a doorway.

Wouldn't that be better than trying to engineer a bar on a wall - particularly due to the forces involved?

The bar I had - was then removed by 'pushing up' to release from two plates attached to the door frame.

The body-weight kept the bar in place.

[MitchellMc]

That's not a bad suggestion, @Kingleviathan. Could you use your grips on a door pull-up bar? If so, we have a variety of different pull-up/chin-up bar products that might be able to serve that purpose.

It's amazing what Bunnings sells @MitchellMc !  😁

I'm familiar with these...It certainly would be easier

I use the Angles90 grip as it allows full movement through the wrist and shoulders (I find holding the bar itself hurts my write as its very rigid). If i strapped the Angles90 to one of these bars that go into the door, then i would be too low to the ground. 

I can also use the Angles90 as a pulley with rope and weight on the end - not sure that door bar would work for this.

Also my place is relatively open plan - the only other doors are into kitchen the and into my bedroom. No

Morning @Kingleviathan 

Wooooo yeah just a little missunderstanding hahahha Can imagine you scratching your head for sure. The photo really helps expalin what you want.

Just had a look online for some pullup bars 

1pc Iron Wall-Mounted Pull-Up Bar 

Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar This is the one I thought wa sbetter structually to carry the bodys load on the wall supports. I would mount it upside down tho for the space you are wanting.

and then saw this one

Wall Mounted Chin Up Bar Pull Up This one is the one that has a smaller profile but the bracket looks like its more fit for purpose to hold the pullup/chinup bar with a bodys weight.

Depending on your wall you will either need to install dynabolts if its brick/concrete or large screws into a timber stud to support it.

Ive been trying to think of a way to be able to remove easily and put back but cant work out one that would be fit for purpose.

I did have a look at Bunnings heavy duty bracks as well as tool mount brackets in case one might be able to be repurposed. I couldnt really see something Id be happy to suggest. This one Carinya 350 x 350mm Galvanised Heavy Duty Brace Stay Bracket might be suitable but then you will have to figure something that will keep the Bar in place (I thought a piece of timber with the bar halfcut into bolted tothe top two holes of the bracket) that wayyou could remove the bar if wanting to. Not sure how safe it would be and also its still a fair amount of strain on the studs of the wall that have not been built with that in mind.
