DIY Pull Up Bar - Cheap and easy project for under $25

Due to gyms not working I decided to make a build a Pull Up Bar in my hallway.

The only prerequisite I had was the bar to be removable, I spend good 2 hours in the hardware store looking for things I can use to build it.

As I mentioned, this can also be installed on corner walls, just have in mind the angle you need to cut the metal pieces to be able to fit.

Man this was a great tutorial. I was slacking waiting for a pull up to finally be available to buy, but after this I just made one like you did thanks

I was thining about putting a curtain on a bar to separate the kitchen frame from the dinning room, maybe I can put a metal bar there and use it also for exercising.

Did you ever figure out what the "barn door lock" thing is called? I didnt find anything like it at home depot and i have no idea what to look up online

Your pull up bar, is really close to what i want to do. My only question is what do you use to make the U shaped holes to the 2 metallic parts? Is that some kind of drill? Or a specific drill compartment?

Loved your video- thanks for posting! I want to install the same setup in my apartment and was thinking of using steel closet pole sockets instead of your metal lock pieces. What do you think?

Thank you for the sharing. I have been thinking of installing a pull up bar in the hallway in my house, but not sure how best to proceed. Your video is very helpful.

A couple of questions - (1) how wide is your hallway: (2) when you installed the brackets on both sides of the hallway, did you just screw into the drywall or there is a stud behind the drywall on both sides? Thanks again.

Hi Ed. Your DIY seems to fit what I want to do, but I am having a hard time finding your side metal things. Would you know the name, or and which area you found this at the hardware store? In locks department?
