Building a high bar

Unread postby Vault101 Boy » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:44 pm

Im sure this question comes up a lot but im considering building high bar (or really just a tall pull up bar) and i was wondering price wise what they usually cost?

If anyone has any tips or suggestions on the best way to build one i'd greatly appreciate it if you could post them here.

i bought 2 12' long 4x6s and dug a hole about 3 or 4 feet deep with a post hole digger then just bought a steel bar and some mounts. cost somethin like 60$. didnt use cement or anything and its real sturdy and took maybe an hour to build
