How to build a metal outdoor pull-up bar?

luv2diy

I'm planning to build an outdoor pull up bar made entirely of metal, similar to the attached image.

Please help with any tips or suggestions on where to source the materials.

I was thinking:

2 - 3m x 80mm x 80mm hollow galvanised steel beams

1 - maybe a vulcan rig pull up bar

Concrete mix

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @luv2diy. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about building a pull-up bar.

The closest post we are likely to have would be the Australian Handyman Supplies 89 x 89mm x 3.0m Galvanised Steel Fence Post - galvanised 3.0m. We've also got plenty of concrete mix for your project.

Most of our pull-up bars are not suitable for exterior use.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Mitchell,

Thank you for your welcome and the advice!

Upon further research, I need two 89mm x 89mm x 5mm 4m galvanised steel square tubes (the key being it's at least 5mm thick).

I found such a product over East: https://www.themetalwarehouse.com.au/shop-online/steel/square-tube/89-x-89-x-5-0-square-tube.html

And suggestions on the best metal supply shops or fabricators in Perth to obtain this from?

Many thanks.

I'd recommend you speak with our help Special Orders team at your nearest Bunnings store @luv2diy. They'll be able to search our suppliers in your area to see if a 5mm thick post is available.
