How to make bars at home and what will it take?

Active way of life and playing sports is a guarantee of good health. However, there is not always enough money to purchase the necessary simulator or to regularly visit the gym. Therefore, many make sports equipment with their own hands. How to make bars at home?

Buy or make?

Since making bars at home seems to be unreal for many, you have to buy them in a specialized store. The assortment of such devices is large enough. But you can make a similar simulator yourself from wood. It takes a little time and effort.

Do not forget that this simulator is suitable for training only lightweight athletes and adolescents. If we compare the cost of store inventory and homemade equipment, the latter will cost several times cheaper. The price of the most inexpensive bars is $ 100. More advanced models are much more expensive. It is because of the price that many refuse to purchase. And from this the question arises: how can you make the bars in the home?

What is required?

So, how to make bars at home? To begin with it is necessary to prepare all tools and materials. To make a simulator with a height of 115 cm and a length of 124 cm, you will need:

1. Wooden bar 100х100 length 145 cm - 4 pcs. If the installation of the beams is carried out without concreting, then the supports should be not less than 165 cm.
2. Wooden beam, the diameter of which is from 5 to 7.5 cm - 2 pcs. Most often this material is used to make handrails for stairs. However, it is quite difficult to find it on sale. It is much easier to purchase a 10 cm diameter beam. However, such material will be too thick. In extreme cases, you can use cuttings for garden tools.
3. Mounting. Suitable are large nails - 100-200 mm.

From this you can make the bars at home. The dimensions can be changed, but in this case you will have to re-calculate the remaining parameters. If you can not purchase material from local shops, you can cut out all of the wood by contacting companies that process this material.

Photo finished products are listed above. It will not be difficult to make them. The main thing is to have the drawings on hand.

In each support, it is necessary in advance to make a saw cut for the crossbar, at a certain height. This will allow you to adjust the location of the poles.

Sports bars - a simulator, which is not recommended to save. It is not necessary to use material from old wood or wood chipboard for its manufacture.
