Do-it-yourself wall-mounted horizontal bar? – yes easily!

Everyone knows that in order to keep your own muscles in good shape, it is enough to do push-ups, pump up your abs and do pull-ups. Which is quite possible to do at home, and you don’t need any gym. And if for abs and push-ups you don’t need anything from equipment except your own body, then for pull-ups you need a crossbar. Or a horizontal bar.

Now the industry offers quite a large number of horizontal bars for the home. Various designs. And appearance. But they all have one common drawback - the price. Since in recent years it has become popular all over the world to monitor your body, industrialists have taken notice and raised prices. Factory horizontal bars are expensive. How to be? After all, you need to train. You can do it easier - make the projectile yourself. Do-it-yourself wall-mounted horizontal bar is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Yes, you need to have certain skills. And you will need the appropriate equipment. And everything else is easy. But imagine - fitness without leaving home. It is enough to perform exercises on the horizontal bar to charge your body with energy for the whole day. Of course, it’s not a fact that your projectile will look like a factory one, but it will definitely be stronger and cheaper.

Before you start building a wall horizontal bar, you should decide on the place where it will then be hung. There must be free space so that you can come up and do the exercises. Otherwise, due to limited movement, you can get injured. As a rule, the most suitable place is the hallway.

Yes, here’s another tool. In principle, these days no one can be surprised by a surface grinder. We call her the Bulgarian. You will need a drill, as well as a screwdriver and hammer. To then hang the entire structure. But there is one subtlety: all elements are connected to each other by welding. And apartment residents, as a rule, do not have welding machines. If you have it, great. And if not, then you will have to look for where it is. For example, I rented one from a construction supermarket. A useful tip is to find out where garages are nearby. You will definitely find the device there. And for a liter they will cook everything for you very quickly. And you shouldn’t cook in an apartment. Splashes of molten metal and stinking smoke.

The places of welded joints are indicated in red in the drawing.

Now the dimensions of the elements of our wall projectile. Everything is numbered:

1. pipe 30 mm, length 750 mm, 1 piece;
2. pipe 30 mm, length 150 mm, 6 pieces;
3. square profile 30x30 mm, length 700 mm, 1 piece (the size indicated is approximate, as it needs to be adjusted to the location);
4. pipe 30 mm, length 200 mm, 2 pieces. They should be welded at an angle of 20 degrees;
5. square profile 30x30 mm, length 550 mm, 2 pieces;
6. square profile 30x30 mm, length 400 mm, 2 pieces (the size indicated is approximate, as it needs to be adjusted to the location);
7. square profile 30x30 mm, length 650 mm, 2 pieces;
8. square profile 30x30 mm, length 550 mm, 2 pieces;
9. sheet 5 mm thick, dimensions 140x120 mm. It can be welded at the back (this is not visible in the drawing);
10. sheet 5 mm thick, dimensions 300x70 mm, 2 pieces.

Nowadays, buying metal is not a problem. The horizontal bar will cost a little more than 10 euros worth of metal. Only. If you will weld everything not at home, but in another place, then you need to cut everything in advance with a grinder. The total weight of the horizontal bar after complete assembly will be approximately 15 kg.

Particular attention should be paid to fasteners. They must be very powerful. And the greater your weight, the more powerful the fasteners should be. If your sport is bodybuilding, then you should not skimp on fasteners. And choose large dowels. Otherwise, your weight will simply turn them out of the wall.
