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.

Hello @naila123

Thank you for sharing your question about attaching a pullup bar on your wall. Instead of using timber, I suggest having a look at the Pillar 16mm x 2.0m Brushed Chrome Curtain Rod which fits perfectly on the Sandleford 16mm Stainless Steel Pillar End Fitting Rod - 2 Pack and the Sandleford 19mm Stainless Steel Pillar Centre Fitting Rod. These should be enough to provide adequate support as a handhold. I suggest using the Ramset 8 x 50mm Universal Anchor - 20 Pack to anchor the pillar ends to the wall.

Unfortunately, 12.7 is too small for the Sandleford Pillar ends. However, if wood is the material that you do need, I propose using the 16mm Dowel Tasmanian Oak Select 3.0m instead so that it fits into the pillar ends.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
