I can freely switch grips and direction, perform core exercises and twists, and even get a nice back stretch without worrying about slamming into a door frame or protruding power tower attachment. Unlike my removable door-frame-mounted bar or my clunky, big-ass power tower, I found the rafter-mounted bar solid enough for me to swing from it like a monkey bar. Once the bar was up, I was eager to give it a try. I'm sure I would have finished much sooner if I'd asked M to help, but I didn't want to interrupt her ChaLEAN Extreme workout. It took me a while to get the bar leveled and bolted tight, mostly because I was trying to balance on a ladder while juggling a metal bar, a level and a handful of nuts and bolts. ![]() The installation was simple and straightforward, though I ended up having to make a couple of trips to Home Depot (first, to pick up longer bolts - the ones included weren't nearly long enough to make it through the doubled-up planks where I wanted to mount the bar - and then later, to buy the necessary 7/16" drill bit, which I mistakenly thought I already had in my toolbox). It's not fancy, but it's solid and mounts firmly with four hex bolts. ![]() The four-foot-wide bar is made of heavy gauge, knurled steel, and can be mounted on just about any wood joist. ![]() The photo of the product on Amazon doesn't do it justice. I can't believe I waited this long to get it mounted - I love it. Last night, I finally got around to installing the rafter-mounted pull-up bar I bought on Amazon.
