Unfortunately my door frames are way too thick for standard door frame pull up bars - so am looking at purchasing a frame.
Has anyone else looked into these, or have any suggestions?
Considering grabbing one of these - but I've seen a fair few bad reviews for dshop, and not sure if the reviews for this frame are actually legit. Some of them read a bit sketchy.. https://www.dshop.com.au/buy/power-tower-dip-bar-pull-up-sta…
Not very tall (165cm)
I'm renting, and the place was newly renovated, and I know my landlord would not be happy about installing a wall/ceiling mounted bar.
Not sure of your circumstances but I would suggest a pair of adjustable rings over a pull up ba if possibler. Lots more versatile, cheaper and portable.
Do you mean something like these? https://www.amazon.com.au/KYLIN-SPORT-Gymnastic-Adjustable-C…
I'm looking for something that wont require modification to the property So i don't have to seek consent from my landlord. (Which Is why i was thinking a frame)
The place was newly renovated, and the landlord is very unlikely to provide consent to install a bar from the wall, or ceiling.
I got my rings from Ironedge and the wooden pair with wide straps. Wood is much better than the plastic alternative.
Yup I get you, I rent too but was lucky I could set something up in the garage.
Biggest issue with the frame is stability and bulk. I would try and do some research into alternative options. Do you have open frame stairs??
Thanks for the reply! No stairs unfortunately. Only one floor - and no garage either. We have a small tiled/stone backyard (stones in between tiles, dirt underneath the stones) and outside of the house is brick.
Fence around the property is flimsy metal - so can't attach anything to that either.
Was thinking I could potentially dig the feet into the dirt and use sandbags to weigh it down - but honestly not sure how stable it'd be until I try it, lol.
Definitely not a fan of the bulk - I'd prefer to keep it minimalistic if possible, just thinking it might be my only option. I loved the doorframe pullup bars in my old place, it's a real shame they don't fit here..
Beginning to think the 'sale' for the frame I listed isn't actually a sale - since it's been extended another day. I won't rush into anything, and will spend some more time tonight/tomorrow seeing if I can come up with a better solution..
@mahdoo: Any time 😊 happy to help 👍
Yeah the digging sounds like a good option but your right about stability. Usually requires concrete foundation to be on the safe side.
Your alternative is to reach out to a carpenter and see if they can build something out of wood that could work on the existing door frames in a similar fashion like what you had. Think of it like a custom door frame pull up bar just for your place.
Do you have any trees?? Might be able to suspend something from that perhaps?
how did you go with buying the pull up bar frame? Im in the market for one as well.
I ended up getting the one I linked in the post. Works quite well, I'm happy with it.
How tall are you?
Can you mount stuff/anchor anything into a wall? It'll offer other good options.
Over all that style looks ok.
