Outdoor pull-up bars

We've worked on these both Saturday and Sunday. Only thing left to do is put up the rope climbing station, hopefully tomorrow. Not too shabby for winging it eh?


Here's the area before we started. This is to the left of the garage as you look at the house from the road.


Laying down the post and bars along the string line so we get the spacing for the holes just right.


Was going to rent an auger to dig the holes but decided to save us the $120.00 fee and use Larry D.'s post hole digger that he graceously let us borrow.


Making sure the post are all relatively the same height even though the ground slopes a bit.


Bracing them so they are dressed and level.


Mixing up the quik-crete. Wasn't sure how much we needed and ended up only using three 80lbs bags. Of course we didn't have the recommended 3x diameter of pole sized holes.


A blurry picture of us screwing in the pull-up bars.

Tomorrow we'll put up the rope climb portion, hang the rope (if Jimmy A. delivers!) and photo the whole apparatus.

Thanks. Still need to hook up the final rope climb station by mounting the bar and hanging the ropes.

Wow that's very resourceful of you to put that up yourself in your own back garden ..!

Hey Bro, Great JOB!!! I found your site while looking for examples of outdoor workout stations. Do you have any final pics with the rope etc? Also, do you have any suggestions for improvements or things you would have done different? I do appreciate any help you could provide. Jason
