Guest Burtchell345 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 So, the gym I workout is closing down, and I'm in need of a place or something to use to hang my rings on... I live in a city and there are barely any trees, the parks are all made for kids around 2-4ft tall, and other gyms here want year contracts when I leave for basic in 3 months. I'm looking at designing a PVC pipe type set up that will be a complete square with 2 poles of 8-9', legs that go out 2-3' to connect to more poles that end up making 4-5' tall base for P-bars for dips. I plan on clamping it down to a piece of plywood, weighing the wood down with an old semi truck trailer's tire drum. Any tips? I'm not exactly a builder or anything, but it's just an idea I got based off making my own parrelettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Clever enough design. My own idea is more of a rotation of the standard monkey bars, with the ladder on the side and the P-bars on top. A cross bar is included to create a neat set of stall bars. The whole thing would work as stall bars, parallel bars and a pullup bar, as well as somewhere to hang short rings off. I figure if I make the P-bars long enough I should be able to train flags off it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of a permanent-style solution though, doesnt suit my current lifestyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really worked out all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
