How to Build a Pull Up Bar: Cut Boards

Cut two identical pieces of the 2×4 to the height at which you’d like the bar to hang. This example is cut to 18 inches, but it will vary depending on ceiling height and personal preference. Measure 3 inches from the bottom of the boards and use the 1-1/2-inch spade bit to make a hole in both boards. Sand the rough edges.
