Building a home gym is a great way to stay in shape and get some exercise in a safe, comfortable environment. The DIY pull-up bar with pipes and connectors is one of the easiest projects to start with!
- This pull-up bar only takes one pipe and a few connectors to build;
- Fixing it yourself to the ceiling will let you pick the best spot in the room;
- You’ll get to decide the colors of tubes and connectors that best suit your home decor!
