Étienne Lajeunesse Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm currently training in a gym where there's no stall bars. For now it's ok, but later I'll need one for sure. I was thinking about buying one, but I'm not sure how the walls would support it with me using it. Do you guys know if there's a risk of damaging them? I live in an apartment on the second floor by the way. Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna McGee Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Me too, apartment on the second floor. You find the studs in the wall. There are only 4 screws, 2 up, 2 down… The damage to the wall should be minimal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's strong enough so the stall bars won't fall while playing with it (and tear off the wall)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Renaud Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I have 3 backer boards (mounting boards) on my stall bar and I screwed into 3 studs on each board (9 screws total) with 4 inch screws. Holds me and my 4 kids playing on it (over 300 pounds) easily. If you have questions Étienne I'd be happy to chat on the phone and answer them. A guy from Montreal used my plans to make a set of bars and the pull-up/dip attachment, he called me to ask a few questions and even asked me to get the metal hooks made for him in Magog and came to pick them up. I'm here to help/share knowledge that I have anytime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I suppose you speak french? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
