How to build a simple outdoor pull up bar?

[kylevuong]

Hi guys, I'm first time user here. 

During the lock down my local gym was closed and so as the playground. Therefore I would like to ask about building a simple pull up bar for outdoor use. It looks pretty simple and I think I can do it myself however I'm not sure if I can get all the materials at Bunnings? 

Basically I will need:

2 x 2.7-3 metre wooden post

1 x 2 metre solid steel bar (34-35mm diameter)

Concrete mix

Can you guys let me know if I can have the posts and solid steel bar at Bunnings at these specs? and is there anything else I need to notice before building one? Thanks a lot for your help and stay safe everyone.

Thank you for the photos @markh1! Your foremen look quite happy with your work. How long does it take for the concrete to be properly set? Would love to see a photo of the whole thing when you have a chance.

Working up to muscle ups.  Just 1 would be great before Christmas.

Hi @markh1

Thank you very much for the update. That pull-up bar looks fantastic. I'm sure you'll be able to do more than just one muscle up before Christmas time.

We look forward to seeing your next project.

Awesome stuff @markh1 , grab yourself some bands and you can effectively do an all body workout with just the bar, it's a great piece of equipment. I'm looking forward to the kid being old enough for some play equipment so I can add-on a Salmon Ladder to whatever outdoor gym we make him 😏.
