What do you think of these parallel bars, assuming they would be used for dip exercises? Is fibreglass a good bar material?

These have steel bars:

Recommendations for home use? Maybe half-length ones, if available, would be enough for dips?

These are professional pbars so they are perfect for training.

I'm getting quotes for them all but I'm inclined towards the all-steel ones unless they are much more expensive. Fibreglass vs steel bars - opinions?

If they can supply half-length ones I'll take those to save space, unless you think they are not ideal for dips.

Is the max width (52 cm) for the steel ones good for me? My shoulders are 54 cm wide.

Make sure you get a quote for shipping before you commit to the purchase.  The bases look pretty heavy so it might end up adding a considerable cost onto the total.

Yeah, I always get quotes with shipping included. From China customs duties and transportation to my home will also add a lot to the price for heavy stuff like this.

Not sure yet if half-length ones are available but they may be able to customise.

Hi Jochen

Yes, delivery of stall bars to NZ was fast but local freight and tax costs were higher than product price. I haven't ordered parallel bars.

Ok, thank you very much @Petri Widsten . I am still looking for parallel bars - found one supplier in germany who has a good reputation, but price is high...http://www.benz-sport.de/turnen/barren-zubehoer/olympiabarren--3175.html

On the other hand- progressions take me sooo much longer than expected- i still have tons of time left ;)

Could you share what it was quoted + shipping + how much extra did it incur you in import / customs duties?
