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.

I mounted mine on a concrete wall so I bought different mounting hardware. I don't rmemember it being a big deal. The pull-up bar is strong and well made and a great value for the money.

Paul, This bar has plenty of room for you. I installed in out basement with 9' ceilings and works great. Hope this helps. Mark

Yes! We have our unit through the block basement wall and used a 2 x 6 as a frame to let unit sit on! We are very happy with our unit!

Generally, I would say no, it will not work for concrete blocks. Having said that, if you are going to be drilling a few holes for example it may work. As an example, I want to mount a board to my basement wall. It would work for that. If you are going to be doing medium to heavy duty drill, you should get a hammer drill. There are several brands out there that would work, Bosch being one of them.Keep in mind that all the 12volt power tools have a couple of advantages. One is their size and the other is their weight. Although I have seen 12 tools in the tool boxes of tradesmen, they are for light duty use or where the above reasons come into play. Generally, I would say no, it will not work for concrete blocks.

Absolutely, use the concrete drill bit, then install a "moly" , then the screws provided in the "Concrete Anchor Kit"--available at hardware store.

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.

Yes you can i recommend this product to anyone that needs a pull up bar. There are brackets so you can mount to the wall. But no you don't need them. You can put up and take down in seconds.

You could but the dimensions are different at the ends of the bar. Might be a little awkward. And there would be a gap under the bar where the two ends meet. Hope this helps. John

Yes, but you would need to buy your own installation hardware from a local hardware store. The installation hardware included with the panels is only for wood or drywall, not concrete. The Blue TapCon Screws designed for concrete work well in concrete blocks.

It's possible. You'll have to purchase concrete anchors from your local hardware store that are specifically made to expand within the concrete.

Yes, with proper fasteners, if you actually mean concrete block. The mounting flanges have decorative covers that are removable. I would suggest GRK Caliburn screws for mounting to concrete block, and use the largest that will fit thru the mounting flange slotted holes. In actual cinder block, I'd be afraid of anything holding the weight except perhaps the winged fasteners. If that is your situation, I'd consult with someone who knows more about cinder block from a structural perspective -- that's beyond my reach.

Yes order the extra bar. It only comes with two. When I ordered mine it arrived in three days

Yes you can - we do. It doesn't matknup the door frame any more than the bar already did. It is light so adds a very minimal amount of weight.

You could but in my opinion, it would look funny. As another reviewer said, just keep them separate or even better, just buy an L shaped bar. There are a ton on Craigslist and Ebay.

By the way, concrete column sounds like you live in a town home. Make sure check with management to see if they allow you to drill in the column.
