Oooops, I just realized the comments section was off. Sorry for those who had questions and could not ask.
Thanks for sharing this...
Now I have to build my daughter one of these! LOL
Your dad did a real good job!
Thank you.
This is amazing
Thank you!
Well done! Thank you for the detail directions!
I knew she'd be a great gymnast when I saw her pushing that quik Crete. I do some concrete work and pushing 12 bags is impressive. Great video, I'm going to use your design, with a few modifications (mostly because my daughter is less experienced) with a lower bar and a higher bar if she continues to be passionate about it. I'm also going to add some rebar in areas. But your video is awesome and thank you very much. Keep working hard!
@texasboy9892 - Thank you for your kind words. Go luck with your build.
Very talented daughter and father team. Good job on putting this video together
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to make this 🙏🏼🤙🏼
You're welcome, we had fun putting it together and we hope this video will help others who are thinking about putting in a strap bar.
I would love one of these but I don’t have enough space in my backyard :(
Great imformative video.
Actually the best I've seen on DIY gymnastics equipment.
Absolute star :)
Thanks so much 😊
I literally love your videos
Awww thank you.
I did the same thing my bar looks just like that!!
Liked, subscribed, and shared on FB. Thank you young lady for showing us how to use hand straps. Very much appreciated. And sir you are a hero! Thanks again
Awesome, thank you!
Love this video! Making one now! I was wondering, how's the wood looking now? Does it need any protective wood paint or anything?
We used a cedar tone treated wood, so it should weather well. It has been almost a year now and a snowy cold winter and it is looking good. I like the idea though of adding a paint or weather seal to it . Good luck on yours, we hope all goes well and the video help in some way. (Ariana's Dad)

Does it hurt your wrists?? I have one and my wrists won’t stop hurting when I’m on the strap bar
If you go 4’ or more you don’t have to use cables.
I would like to build this, but my husband is worried about the engineering and the force our girls would put on it during giants... one is 100lb and 5'9" - will this hold? and can we go narrower than 8'8" across? are the cables an absolute must? Also, how has it held up outside for the last 3 years (we are in MN)?
@astockton9 Hello, my strap bar has held up well. It is 3 years old now and I still use it. I am 5'0 tall and 105 pounds now and I can still do giants on it. My dad says you could go narrower, he just wanted to make it the same width as a regulation bar set. He says he has seen others without the cables but says the cables give it more support. We are in MN too and it has held up great over the winters. My dad says because of the treated cedar-toned 4x6 post. I hope this helps. 🙂
How many bags of concrete does it take for the two holes with the posts? My dad and I are gonna build this in the spring!!
8 total, we used 4 bags in each hole. the smaller anchor holes we used 1 bag each. Hope this helps.
just made one! how does your hold up during winter? im in MN
Awesome! I did a How is the Strap Bar holding up video. Check it out here - th-cam.com/video/I8MVq9KXx4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-60HMb5EnK6OwGG5
Can I use gloves and straps instead of the white pipe?? And if I do will the size of the metal bar matter??
yes you can! and no the size of the bar does not matter for gloves!!!
@ArianaFrechette, did you wrap the PVC with tape? Doesn't look like plain PVC in the video. Also, how wide were each of the holes for the 4x6 posts? In the video it just references 8'4" wide for the overall footprint, not the hole size.
As the gymnast using this, do you feel the flex in the bar is similar to what you use at a gym? More/less?
@eforti, yes my dad wrapped it with the white medical tape. My dad can't remember the hole size, he thinks it was 12 inches. I would say there is a little less flex than the bar in the gym, but it does flex some, giving the same feel as set.
Is there a way I could do the PVC thing if my bar is already secured. Because I really want one
Hello, My dad says you would have to saw a cut from one end of the PVC to the other. Then try to open it open just enough to fit over the galvanized pipe. Then tap the PVC pipe good to close up the cut. See this video to better see what I tried to say. th-cam.com/video/WuIMKmQG_F0/w-d-xo.html
I did the exact same thing as the video and it hurts my wrists every time but it doesn't when I'm at the gym. Can you give me tips for putting on the straps?
You could try using looser straps
How much money did this end up costing? I would love to make one but I need to know how much it will cost. Thx!
The total cost for everything was between $400-$450.
is the galvanized pipe strong enough for adult weight?
Not 100% sure, my brothers have hung on it and a couple of them have done pull-ups on the bar. No giants 😂 The weight between my brothers is 125 and 170 lbs. I am 85-90 lbs.
@@ArianaFrechette im thinking about if its safe for them to perform repeated backup circles. Ill be creating mine next week using a g33 rebar inside a pvc pipe filled with epoxy.
Has this held up after a year? Thinking about building it.
It is holding up great. I used it the other day on an off day from the gym. My dad just needs to tighten the cables once in awhile.
Where did you buy your straps? My mom and dad will not let me do this because it is permanent in the ground.
We made the straps. here is a previous comment about how we made them.
We used 1 inch nylon strap material. You can buy bulk strap material at most hardware stores. I used one of my dads extra 1 inch tie down straps. We cut 2 (for making two straps) 30 inch pieces. Take your first strap and make a loop, you will want to safety pin the ends together to get the right size. Once pinned at what you think is the correct size for you, test it by wrapping the strap around the bar and put your hands through the strap and wrap around your wrist (see video at 8:34). Once I had the loop the correct size for my wrist my mom sowed the ends together. After the ends were sowed together we cut off the extra length and used a lighter to burned the ends so that they would not fray. My straps ended up being 12 inches when the loop is folded down. I hope this helps. 😀
Do the straps actually keep you In place, I have one but it is really tough to hold on to and I feel like I am gonna fall
Yes the straps make it so you stay on the bar
@Lego made - Yes, straps help keep my hands and wrist tight. Does your strap bar have a PVC pipe over the bar that helps you go around?
@@ArianaFrechette no, I use gloves and straps like some other people use it. It’s too much work putting the pipe in since I use a pull up bar and if I decide to put it on, I would have to split the pipe in half. We also have a tiny backyard so we wouldn’t be able to fit the huge bar in. When I put on the gloves it is really slippery with the straps. I saw some other gymnasts use gloves and straps and they make it look easy like it is not slippery, but it actually is. Do you have any advice on the strap with the gloves??
@@MyHealthyPlate_recipes i have had that feeling too but i think you must buy smaller straps.
Weird question but how much weight can go on this bar? Like can your dad or brother go on it easily or is it risky? I’m on the heavier side and I’m worried if it’s going to be wobbly or okay
I would guess you would have no problems. The bar can hold a good amount of weight. My brothers did pull ups on it and they are 160 to 185 pounds. My dad says if you build one that is not as wide as the one we built you would get less flex on the bar when doing giants. Hope this helps.
@@ArianaFrechette thank you! This really helped!!
You're welcome.
do you think this would be useful if I am only in level 5?
I think so because it’s could help with your baby giants and if you are starting to work on giants it could help too!
Yes, even if all you do is practice your kip and tap swings, then on to giants. Best of Luck to you!
Where do you get the strap bar like the one you tie your hands to! I cant find any
We used 1 inch nylon strap material. You can buy bulk strap material at most hardware stores. I used one of my dads extra 1 inch tie down straps. We cut 2 (for making two straps) 30 inch pieces.

I hope this helps. 😀
@@ArianaFrechette thank you!
You're welcome.
Can use fiber glass with wood coating as that is what woman gymnastics bars are made out of instead of the steel bar?
I guess you could use fiber class, my dad looked into it but was going to be more expensive. This setup uses a PVC pipe over the metal pipe. I am not actually gripping the metal pipe but the PVC which spins around the metal pipe. Hope this helps.
@@ArianaFrechette thanks so much! I am hoping to build one and use it! Thanks
Does it feel the same as a strap bar at a gym?
Yes it does.
I'm confused. You guys put those wooden supports on at 4:41 in the video but at 10:27 in the video I see them nowhere. Were those just temporary until you got the cables? Please help!
Those were added to keep the two main 4x6's level and square until the concrete dried. Then, once the concrete was dry, yes, we removed them and added the cables to give the the whole things more support.
@@ArianaFrechette thank you!
How long did it take for the concrete too dry??
we let the concrete dry for 24 hours.
How long did this take to build?
The main bar set we built it on a Saturday, the whole day. My dad added the support cables a few days later.
What is the white coloured roll on the bars
It is a PVC pipe around the galvanized pipe. You strap your wrist to it and it spins around the galvanized pipe.
the bar of what material is
It is a galvanized pipe... check out at 1:05 in the video.
will it be supported enough without the wires
My dad says if you do not add the cables you will want to have the post further down with more concrete. The cables add a lot more support.
and where is the bar bought
We bought the pipe (bar) at Home Depot.
where do u get the straps from

@@ArianaFrechette ok thank you so much 🙂
what is the thickness of the bar
1 inch diameter... check out at 1:05 in the video.
How much money did it cost to do all of this?
Around $400.00 for all materials.
how much did that cost
Around $400.00 for all materials.
Where did u get the materials?
Most of it was from Home Depot. My dad bought the quick links from Walmart.
Comments accidentally got shut off again. Not sure how?? O well. I wanted to post a comment and let everyone know I did a How is the Strap Bar holding up video. Check it out here - th-cam.com/video/I8MVq9KXx4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-60HMb5EnK6OwGG5
If you don’t mind could you list the materials in the comment section thank you
I will check to see if my dad has a material list still. All materials are listed in the video.
where do you buy straps?
We made the straps. here is a previous comment about how we made them.
We used 1-inch nylon strap material. You can buy bulk strap material at most hardware stores. I used one of my dad's extra 1-inch tie-down straps. We cut 2 (for making two straps) 30-inch pieces. Take your first strap and make a loop, you will want to safety pin the ends together to get the right size. Once pinned at what you think is the correct size for you, test it by wrapping the strap around the bar and putting your hands through the strap, and wrapping it around your wrist (see video at 8:34).

I hope this helps. 😀
i really wanna build tuhis
Go for it girl. I hope you get a chance to built it. I watched your video... awesome.
im gonna build it soon :)
my dad is finally letting me build it lol i put photos of it on evryone devices and around the house hahah xx im the same person i got logged out tht account
you need a special kind of grip strength to have to use straps and a rotating bar just to do a loop 💀
I got something good for this you should get her a lower bar to that would be cool like
Lol. My dad actually wanted to put in a lower bar.
9:28 is when it actually starts
