How to Make a Homemade Outdoor Pull-Up Bar

An outdoor pull-up bar is a great way to get a full-body workout in the comfort of your backyard. It's perfect for beginners and experienced athletes alike. With a few simple materials and steps, you can easily build your own outdoor pull-up bar.

Materials:

2 pieces of galvanized pipe (3" diameter, 5' long)
2 pieces of galvanized pipe (3" diameter, 2' long)
4 galvanized pipe caps
8 bolts (1/2" diameter, 4" long)
8 washers (1/2" diameter)
8 nuts (1/2" diameter)
Concrete (2 bags)
Gravel (1 bag)
Plywood or OSB (2 sheets, 2' x 4')
Screws
Level

Steps:

Prepare the ground: Dig a hole 3' wide and 2' deep. Fill the hole with gravel and tamp it down. Place the plywood or OSB over the hole and level it.
Assemble the base: Connect the 2' and 5' pipes together using the bolts, washers, and nuts. This will form the base of the pull-up bar.
Install the uprights: Dig two holes, each 1' wide and 2' deep, 5' apart. Insert the uprights into the holes and fill the holes with concrete. Allow the concrete to cure for at least 24 hours.
Attach the base to the uprights: Lift the base onto the uprights and secure it using the remaining bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure the bar is level.
Install the caps: Place the pipe caps on the ends of the uprights to prevent water from entering the pipes.
