![]() ![]() Then drilled 3 pilot holes on each end of the 2 x 6 and through the ceiling joists. I cut the 2圆 down to about 3 1/2 - 4 feet I will take some pictures and put them up, but here's what I basically did. I just put up my pull up bars last week and got my rings up about two weeks ago. (Message edited by tlayman on January 22, 2007) Although I haven't changed my mind on the pullup bar section, as I have read and re-read the earlier discussions I am thinking I should try to figure out a way to hang the ring section parallel and in between the trusses so that that the suspension point is higher than 8' to 8' 4". At first I figured I would attach a 2x8 or similar board perpendicular to the bottom of the trusses to mount the pipe flanges and therefore run the pipe also perpendicular to the trusses. The desire is to construct a "Home Depot" pipe pullup bar with an additional pipe bar to hang the rings similar to other pictures and instructions I found searching the discussions. Ceiling height is around 8' 4" to bottom of the 3 1/2" wide x 16" tall wood trusses that are 24" on center leaving 20 1/2" clear opening between the trusses (see picture below). Thought it would be best to locate the pullup bar and rings first due to structural implications and to create a suitable area for kipping and various ring exercises that I am looking forward to learning. I am trying to start to set up a basement gym. ![]() It is great to have others that have done this before. ![]()
