How much can a wood screw handle?

[MartinS1980]

Hello

I am going to mount a bar on the wall for pull-ups/chin-ups.

The wall consists of 220x45mm studs. That means the bar can be fastened with a maximum of 45mm screws.

How thick should these be to handle the load?

The load will be up to 100kg.
The bar's mounts are about 40cm deep, meaning the weight will hang 40cm from the wall.

The bar can be fastened with 3 screws on each side.

Thanks!!!

How far is it between the mounting holes?

Hello

It is 65 cm in width between the two arms,
Vertically, it is about 15 cm between the top and bottom hole, and in between there is a third hole.

Best regards,
Martin
