Things You'll Need:
- One 1 1/2-inch-wide metal pipe Two 4-inch-by-4-inch wood boards Two wooden blocks Drill Band saw Screwdriver Eight wood screws Wide drill bit Cement Post-hole diggers Level
-
Step 1
Dig two holes approximately 3 feet apart. The holes should be at least 3 feet deep and large enough to accommodate the 4-by-4s. Place the 4-by-4s in the holes and use the level to stand them up straight.
-
Step 2
Cut the 4-by-4s to an appropriate height. These will be the two side support bars that hold up your chinning pole. Minus the 2 to 3 feet to be buried, your support bars should be at grasping height from a standing position. Have a friend hold one of the bars in the hole while you reach up with arms outstretched. Cut the 4-by-4s 6 inches above where your fingers touched.
-
Step 3
Mix and pour concrete in the holes around the standing 4-by-4s. Leave to dry overnight.
-
Step 4
Cut metal pipe to the same length as the distance between the two standing 4-by-4s. This pipe will be the actual chinning bar and must fit snugly between the two standing boards.
-
Step 5
Use a 1 1/2-inch drill bit to drill holes through the two wooden blocks. Run the metal chinning bar through the holes.
-
Step 6
Affix the wooden blocks to the inside of the two standing 4-by-4s using wood screws. The metal pipe should now be cradled by the wooden blocks, which have been permanently attached between the 4-by-4s.
