planning on building a pull up station with pvc.
i have 2 3way pieces, 1 14inch pvc pipe, 2inches wide, and 2 long pvc pipe for the stand.
was gonna dig a hole like 2 ft, plant the two pipes and attach the 3 way piece on both ends.. than add in 14inch pipe in the middle than viola.

i weigh 200 pounds, 6ft.

You could make an upside down T shape stand on both sides and just reinforce it with some heavy stuff or something.

so a 2inch wide pvc pipe, is about 200 psi... so thats 200 pounds per square so.. hmm it can defintely hold my weight. i've seen people online build pull up bars with pvc, but i dont have the right pieces.

would need 1 1/4 '' to grip it properly and thats too weak, just get one of those door pullup things

Use the PVC to make the upsidedown T stands. Go to a random place where they're currently building a house or building. Ask if you get can an iron bar. Put it as your main pullup bar. Tape the place where you grip it so it's thick enough.

was np?
