My basement has concrete block walls. Can I install this bar there?

I imagine that you would have to use the proper hardware (i.e.screws/bolts) for concrete block walls, and make sure that the heads of the screws/bolts fit into the channels in the mounting bar.

Yes absolutely - you just need to be able to drill holes. I would imagine it would be more secure on concrete blocks than on sheet ply like typical homes.

There are several type of lag bolts that would work for concrete wall installation but the many holes that would be required & being so close together, my opinion is you wouldn't be satisfied long term, just my thoughts, I'm not a professional handyman.

You could install at the top of the door........but I don't think it would be secure because someone could still kick the door in. You need to get cement screws which would allow you to install in concrete. I believe it is out there ......There are masonary screws which install into cement or concrete.

I guess you could. The suction parts slide on the bar so you can put it where you want it.

You can install the brackets where ever you want- but you really want to install it through the studs. I hope that answers your question. I am really happy with the bar. It did require a little bit of sanding but it stained beautifully.

The bar fits on the outside of the center frame that the door closes against. As long as you install it on the correct side of this frame (generally the outside of the room that the door leads to), you'll be fine. Just so you know, this means the gravity bar is visible from outside the room so you don't want to install it in an area you like to keep nice for visitors.

You should be able to do that. However, if you tow something heavy, the bar might get damaged.

I would not suggest doing that since it is designed to be collapsible and is uneven due to the different sizes of the bar and the release button in the middle which will show up in your background and damage it. If you do not plan on collapsing it, you could get a piece of PVC pipe (Home Depot, Lowe's etc) to be used as sleeve over the bar.

The center of the horizontal bar is about 22 inches from the concrete wall it has been mounted on. However, in my case it is mounted on the wall above a door so I can't comment on whether the distance from the wall is comfortable enough.

From the floor to the top of the pullup bar is 81 inches, so unfortunately I don't think it will work in your basement. I'd recommend about 90 inches of clearance to clear your head.

The floor joists in my basement are on 16" centers. Unless you grip the neutral bars at the very end, you shouldn't have a problem hitting your head on one of the joists. This pull up bar is very solid and easy to install. My only complaint is the knurling on the grip areas isn't very deep and the black paint makes them hard to grip well. I purchased the Gamma overgrip wrap and wrapped it tightly around the grip areas. It worked well. It is available on Amazon. I hope this information helps in your purchase decision.

Bar is predrilled so you would have drill a hole for the bolt that connects the bar to the bracket. Also need to make sure you mount the bracket to stud or rafter. 45 in doesn't sound like standard spacing. Good luck.

No sir I cannot. The walls of the switch would be to thin to support the tightening around the bar and short out on the metal. Sorry.

I suppose you could but I wouldn't recommend it with much weight on the bar.

I never tried concrete- It is good at electrical or metal detection though so it will likely find rebar in the concrete for you to avoid. It has a harder time with walls in contemporary houses that have massive amounts of wood in the walls but good in standard construction. Hope this helps.

The box I received didn't have the right bolts for a concrete wall. The part you workout is great but I would strongly advise to get a stronger bolt for masonry from you local home improvement store. Also ensure how much weight the bolt is made to endure orit might break under a workout load. I hoe that helps you.

Yes, I think you should be able to. You need a solid post to fasten to. We use it in our basement. I measured our area to determine what length to get.
