These posts eventually rot out in the ground, especially if you get a lot of rain. If you burn/scorch the bottoms of the posts, before you put them in the concrete, this helps preserve the wood. It's a process called 'Shou Sugi Ban', the Japanese have been doing for centuries. It can make the wood last 100 years without treatment.

Or you just pour the concrete without the posts, but with post brackets that have a 1" standoff. Or they make sleeves that go over the posts and protect them that way. Pole structures are made all 3 ways but they don't burn the bottoms, probably because it's not as professional. Posts aren't going to rot out in the concrete in a few years or anything like that, though, it takes decades.

I built my pullup bar at 9 foot so I could use it for suspension training too. I'm only 5'7" so I had to install rock wall climbing holds. I want to add on to it so I have a setup like yours!

Damn that front lever to muscle up and reverse on the home depot bar was super smooth

I wish someone would build this in a public area in my town

One last touch would be post caps (I bought mine from Atlanta Post Caps). They look pretty nice on pullup bars.

This was awesome. A suggestion that would require a little more planning up front maybe but would be less expensive and stronger is rather than using flanges and having to thread pipes... get a bit that will dril 1 1/4 holes...drill a blind hole in one post,a thorugh hole in the other... once everything is set up right run the pipe through the through hole and into the blind hole and then use a 1 1/4 dowel to plug the through hole gluing it in to hold the pipe. This would save quite a bit of dough in flanges, the bit isn't going to be terribly cheap but it can be used for other projects, the holes will be enormously stronger than flanges and you won't have to worry about your screws eventually rotting and a flange failing.

Rajib Banerjee I don’t have a video. The drilling is straightforward with a drill press, drill guide or just good drilling skill. Making the plug is straightforward if you can get your hands on a dowel of the right thickness. Just cut a piece longer than you need... glue it in... surface cut it near plane and then sand it

This will fit in a normal backyard. I have one in my neighborhood. Small gated community. Just ignore all the space around the bars. Also, you only need one or two pull up bars and you can customize your set up based on need and space requirements. Even 1 bar is fine you know.

Hey there, Get pressure treated 6x6 wood. We have used over past 10 years with no rot issues.

This is just gorgeous, BUT it would rot after 2-4 years where I live. XD I suggest to use impact sleeves (is this how it's called in english? That's what google translate told me. XD). You know, those metal things you put into the ground and screw the wood to. :) I'll definitely build something like yours in my backyard. I need to regain my health and loose several kilos. When I was a child I did ballet and could do handstand in the rings just at the first try and jumped 1,30m high when I was only about 1,50m...and now there is nothing left but excess weight and sore knees. Enough is enough...I quit my job and my first priority is my health now. :) Really can't wait to build something like this for me. :D

Once this whole COVID-19 situation dies down of course. Also, do you have to weld or could you thread it on the other side then screw it into the flanges?
