Select location and mark out
Your Pull up bar should be installed in a level area of soft ground or
lawn. Please ensure that there is no risk of disturbing underground
services or other hazards. When you have selected your area, you
will need to mark where to dig the holes. The metal pull up bar has
holes drilled in each end. These holes are the centers of the holes
that you will dig.
Digging the holes
Digging the holes for the posts is a key part of the installation.
The hole must be a minimum of 600mm deep (700mm for 3.6m
posts). You will notice that the post has a 12mm hole on the
lower section, this is to take the supplied metal bar which is to be
inserted prior to concreting. Ensure that the hole is large enough
to take this bar. Leave plenty of space for alignment.
Insert the post, concrete and level
Level the post in all directions and fix with the post mix following
the product instructions. This post will need to set prior to moving
to the next step. Important! Ensure the hole that will receive the
pull up bar is orientated in the correct direction.

Insert the second post and align
Insert the second post into the second hole. Using the position of
the pull up bar you will need to adjust the height of the post to find
the correct alignment. This is achieved by either removing more
soil from the hole or backfilling the hole slightly. As with the first
post please ensure that the post is buried to a minimum of
600mm/700mm and the rod is added. Do not concrete the post in

Align the bar with both posts
You can now slide the pull up bar, across into the second post. If
necessary, add a squirt of WD40. Check that the hole in the pull
up bar is aligned with the holes in the posts on both ends.

Bolt the bar into the first post
Align the holes in the posts with the holes in the pull up bar by
twisting the bar. Push the bolt through the hole, adding a washer to
each side. Tighten the nut and bolt (see below.)

Insert the pull up bar
Ensuring the post has set in the concrete you will now use
the pull up bar to set the position and height of the

Final steps
Check the second post and the pull up bar to ensure that
everything is level. You can add some dry post mix to the hole
to help get everything perfectly aligned. Now you can bolt up
the second post and, then concrete in the second post,
checking everything is level before each step, add bungs (when
concrete is set) and backfill the holes
Happy training!
Foundations
The stability of your Gym relies on correct installation of the posts.
We recommend a minimum depth of 600mm. Ensure the concrete
is fully hardened before use (2-3 days) and the hole is suitable for
the ground conditions and planned usage. We also recommend
using a small amount of pea shingle at the base of the post to aid
drainage.
Maintenance
All of our materials are maintenance free, the posts are supplied
with a tanalised finish and 10 year life expectancy. It is essential to
check the bolts and fixings on a monthly basis and tighten where
necessary as they can loosen off as the timber goes through the
natural drying process.
