I am thinking about installing pull up bars in my lawn. For this purpose, my plan was to use 4x4 pressure treated posts (about 4' apart) and then put a bar between them at abt 7' ht. However, I have several questions:
- How deep in the ground should the posts be.
- Do I need concrete to hold them, or will the dirt I dig up/gravel be sufficient to keep them stable.
- Another thought I had was to use 3 posts in a right angle triangle shape (each arm at right angles to be abt 4') or to use 4 posts to make it a 4' square, to make the structure more stable. Is that preferable, and if so which one (triangle or square)? I want to use min # of posts so as to use min amt of area in the lawn.
- What is the best way to tie the bar to the posts?
- Lawn is regularly watered. Is that a problem? Any precaautions I need to take?
Thanks for your help in advance.
