Hello!
I'm planning to build a mini outdoor gym/pullup stand consisting of 2 posts and a pipe. Possibly expand it later...
We've managed to get a free pipe about 42mm in diameter that I thought I'd use. Possibly a bit thick but it works.
My questions are regarding the posts and the attachment of the pipe:
- I was thinking of using construction timber (type: https://www.hornbach.se/shop/Byggti...-120x140x3000mm/8154146/artikel-detaljer.html) because I find 95x95 posts unstable at 2m+ height. Dig them about 70cm into the ground with stones and/or cast in concrete depending on how it feels. Are there any disadvantages with construction timber compared to 95x95 posts?
- What's the best way to attach the pipe to the posts? I've been looking for pipe holders like 'kee klamps' but they seem relatively expensive or have high shipping costs. Is there anything similar in large hardware stores or other good alternatives for a strong attachment?
